Acetothioacetanilide as a gravimetric reagent for palladium, platinum and rhodium.
Acetothioacetanilide, CH(3)CO . CH(2) . CS . NH . C(6)H(5) is found to be a very suitable gravimetric reagent for Pd(II), Pt(II) and Rh(III). The complexes [composition, M(C(10)H(10)NOS)(2); for M = Pd(II) and Pt(II), and M(C(10)H(10)NOS)(3)] are stable and can be weighed after drying at 105-110 degrees . Separation from base metals has been studied, and a structural interpretation made from DTA, TG and infrared data.
