title: Extraction-spectrophotometric determination of iron(II) by ternary complex formation with pyrocatechol violet and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide.
abstract: A method for iron(II) determination based on reaction with Pyrocatechol Violet to form a 1:2 binary complex at pH 5-7 is described and has been extended to an extraction-spectrophotometric procedure for the determination of iron(II) by formation of the 1:2:2 iron(II)-Pyrocatechol Violet-cetyltrimethylammonium bromide ternary complex. The molar absorptivities of the binary and ternary complexes at 595 and 605 nm are 6.55 x 10(4) and 1.35 x 10(5)1.mole(-1).cm(-1), respectively. The method has been successfully applied to the determination of iron in felspar, Portland cement and sodium hydroxide.
