Microdetermination of ruthenium(III) in presence of other metals

Microchimica Acta Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Ruthenium(III) reacts with thiovioluric acid in aqueous medium at pH 4.45–6.00 to yield pinkish-violet complex with absorption maximum at 540 nm. Full colour development requires heating for about 30 minutes on a boiling water bath. The system obeys Beer's law in the range 0–5.6 ppm of ruthenium. The sensitivity of the reaction is 0.0046μg/cm2 (for log 10/I=0.001) at 540 nm. The composition of the complex is 1∶2, as shown by Job's and Bent and French methods. The effect of various foreign ions in the determination of ruthenium has also been investigated.

Zusammenfassung

Ruthenium(III) reagiert mit Thioviolursäure in wäßriger Lösung bei pH 4,45–6,00 unter Bildung einer rosa-violetten Komplexverbindung mit dem Absorptionsmaximum bei 540 nm. Die volle Farbentwicklung tritt beim Erwärmen auf dem siedenden Wasserbad in etwa 30 min. ein. Das Beer'sche Gesetz ist bis 5,6 ppm Ru erfüllt. Die Empfindlichkeit der Reaktion beträgt 0,0046μg/cm2 bei 540 nm. Die Zusammensetzung des Komplexes entspricht dem Molverhältnis 1∶2. Der Einfluß verschiedener Fremdionen wurde untersucht.
