title: Dithiocarbaminoacetic acid as a masking agent in complexometry.
abstract: Dithiocarbaminoacetic acid (TCA) forms very stable, water soluble complexes with a number of metal ions and is a suitable masking agent in complexometry. TCA masks from EDTA and complexometric indicators at pH 2-6 the following elements: bismuth(III), indium(III), thallium(III), cadmium(II), lead(II), mercury(II) and copper(II), thus making possible the complexometric determination of other elements in their presence.
