Summary

The Bi-EDTA chelate absorbs strongly in the UV (λ max=263 nm;ɛ=103 l. mole−1. mm−1) in a wavelength region where most other metal chelates, metal ions and EDTA absorb to a much smaller extent or not at all. Two applications of this phenomenon are described:the determination of Bi(III) at the 10−5 M level in the presence of other metals, and the use of bismuth(III) as a back-titrant in the determination of traces of iron.

Zusammenfassung

Bi(III)-ÄDTA-Chelat absorbiert UV-Licht sehr stark (λ max=263 nm; ɛ=103 l. Mol.−1 mm−1) in einem Wellenlängengebiet, wo andere Metallchelate, Metallionen und ÄDTA viel weniger stark oder gar nicht absorbieren. Zwei Anwendungen dieser Eigenschaft werden beschrieben. Als erste die Analyse von 10−5-m Bi(III)-Lösungen in Anwesenheit anderer Metalle. Weiter die Anwendung von Bismuth(III) als Titrant bei der komplexometrischen Rücktitration von Eisenspuren.
