Synthesis and characterization of 1,2-cyclohexanedione bis-benzoyl-hydrazone and its application to the determination of ti in minerals and rocks.
The synthesis, spectroscopic characteristics and analytical applications of 1,2-cyclo-hexanedione bis-benzoylhydrazone are reported. The reaction of this new compound with titanium(IV) has been studied spectrophotomelrically. An orange 1:2 metal/ligand complex (lambda(max)= 477 nm, = 1.05 x 10(4) l.mole(-1).cm(-1)) is formed at pH 1.75-3.0 in 3:2 v v ethanol-water medium. The method is simple and selective and has been satisfactorily applied to the determination of titanium in bauxite, Portland cement, amphibolites and granites.
