Summary

The spectroscopic behaviour of some quinoline azo dyes has been studied. A simple, rapid, accurate, and sensitive method for the spectrophotometric microdetermination of Ag(I) ions using the title compounds is given. The conditions for the formation of the coloured complexes are obeyed up to 26 µg·ml−1; the optimum concentration range for application of theRingbom method is 2.5–23 µg·ml−1. The molar absorptivity and theSandell sensitivity have also been calculated. The method proved to be successful in determining Ag+ in photography fixing solutions. The results agreed satisfactorily with those obtained using standard atomic absorption spectroscopy.

Zusammenfassung

Das spektroskopische Verhalten einiger Chinolin-Azofarbstoffe wurde untersucht. Eine einfache, rasche, genaue und empfindliche Methode zur spektrophotometrischen Mikrobestimmung von Silbert(I)-Ionen mittels der Titelverbindungen wird vorgestellt. Die Bedingungen zur Bildung der gefärbten Komplexe werden bis zu einer Maximalkonzentration von 26 µg·ml−1 erfüllt; der optimale Konzentrationsbereich zur Anwendung derRingbom-Methode liegt zwischen 2.5 und 23 µg·ml−1. Die molare Absorption und die Empfindlichkeit nachSandell wurden ebenfalls berechnet. Die Methode wurde erfolgreich zur Bestimmung von Ag+ in photographischen Fixierlösungen eingesetzt. Die Ergebnisse stimmen in zufriedenstellender Weise mit durch Atomabsorptionsspektroskopie erhaltenen überein.
