title: Use of 3-hydroxy-1,3-diphenyltriazine in the spectrophotometric determination of copper, palladium, iron, cobalt, nickel, and molybdenum.
abstract: 3-Hydroxy-1,3-diphenyltriazine (HDPTA) forms brightly coloured complexes with copper, palladium, iron, cobalt and nickel ions, which are readily extractable in benzene. The deep yellow molybdenum complex is completely soluble in 60% ethanol. All the chelates have a definite absorption maximum between 398 and 422 nm, the reagent absorption being negligible above 415 nm. The molar composition of the chelates is ML(2), except for iron and cobalt which form ML(3) complexes. Microquantities of these metals can be determined spectrophotometrically with HDPTA.
