Summary

A simple and sensitive extraction-polarographic method for the determination of copper(II) by use of acetonitrile as solvent is described. The copper(II) complex formed in aqueous solution can be quantitatively extracted into acetonitrile, in which the complex is reduced to give a polarographic wave withE 1/2−0.58 Vvs. SCE. Linear calibration curves for copper(II) are obtained by the dc, ac and differential pulse polarographic methods. Foreign ions such as Hg(II), Bi, Pb(II), Zn and Ni have no effect even in 20-fold amount relative to copper(II), but a 10-fold ratio of Sn(II) does interfere.

Zusammenfassung

Ein einfaches und empfindliches Verfahren zur Extraktion von Kupfer (II) mit Acetonitril und darauf folgende polarographische Bestimmung wurde beschrieben. Der in wäßriger Lösung entstandene Cu(II)-Komplex läßt sich mit Acetonitril quantitativ extrahieren. Er wird dann reduziert und gibt eine polarographische Welle mit dem Halbwellenpotential E1/2=−0,58 V gegen eine gesättigte Kalomelelektrode. Lineare Eichkurven für Kupfer(II) ergaben sich mit Gleichstrom-, Wechselstrom- und Differential-Puls-Polarographie. Fremdionen wie Hg(II), Bi, Pb(II), Zn und Ni beeinflussen das Ergebnis auch in 20fachem Überschuß nicht, wohl aber stört Sn(II) in 10facher Menge.
