title: Analytical applications of copper(II) and copper(I) in acetonitrile: potentiometric and spectrophotometric determination of dithiocarbamates.
abstract: The use of copper(II) perchlorate and tetra-acetonitrilocopper(I) perchlorate (in acetonitrile) for the potentiometric and spectrophotometric determination of dithiocarbamates in acetonitrile medium is described. The proposed methods are simple, accurate and reliable and show promise of wide applicability. They are recommended for routine determination of dithiocarbamates. Their advantages over the carbon disulphide evolution method, commonly employed for the determination of these compounds, are discussed.
