title: Spectrophotometric determination of trace amounts of thallium with 7-(4,5-dimethylthiazolyl-2-azo)-8-hydroxyquinoline-5-sulphonic acid.
abstract: A new reagent, 7-(4,5-dimethylthiazolyl-2-azo)-8-hydroxyquinoline-5-sulphonic acid, has been examined to evaluate its usefulness as a spectrophotometric reagent for thallium(III). A purple-red complex is formed in aqueous solution at pH 4-5 in the presence of cetylpyridinium chloride and the stoichimetric ratio is 1:2 (Tl:reagent). The apparent stability constant is 1.5 x 10(11). The effect of diverse ions has been studied and a method for determining trace amounts of thallium is proposed.
