Summary

The sodium salt of 1-allyl-2-tetrazoline-5-thione (NaATT-5) is proposed as a new reagent for the detection of IO3 , I, and Bi(III) ions. An aqueous solution of NaATT-5 reduces IO3 in acid medium to free iodine (formed via iodide) which is detected by reaction with starch. S2O3 2− is the only interfering species. I and NO2 interfere only when both are present together. NaATT-5 also reacts with bismuth to form a canary yellow precipitate of [BiL2]+ X (where X=a univalent anion other than I; L=ATT-5). When the yellow precipitate is treated with iodide, X is replaced by I to form a complex [BiL2]+I, which is orange in colour. This reaction provides the basis for the detection of bismuth as well as of I. In the test for bismuth, Cu(II), Fe(III), S2O3 2−, IO3 , IO4 , and large quantities of NO2 interfere. The last four anions also interfere in the test for iodide. A method for the preparation of NaATT-5 is also reported.

Zusammenfassung

Das Natriumsalz des 1-Allyl-2-tetrazolin-5-thions (NaATT-5) wurde als neues Reagens für den Nachweis von JO3 , J und Bi(III) vorgeschlagen. Eine wäßrige Lösung von NaATT-5 reduziert Jodat in saurem Milieu zu freiem Jod (über Jodid), das mit Stärke nachgewiesen wird. Thiosulfat ist die einzige störende Substanz. Jodid und Nitrit stören nur, wenn beide gleichzeitig anwesend sind. NaATT-5 reagiert auch mit Bi zu einem gelben Niederschlag von [BiL2]+X (worin X ein einwertiges Anion, aber nicht I bedeutet; L=AAT-5). Wenn dieser gelbe Niederschlag mit Jodid behandelt wird, wird X durch J ersetzt, so daß orange gefärbtes [BiL2]+J entsteht. Diese Reaktion dient sowohl zum Nachweis von Bi wie von Jodid. Der Nachweis von Bi wird durch Cu(II), Fe(III), S2O3 2−, JO3 , JO4 und große Mengen NO2 gestört. Die genannten Anionen stören auch den Jodidnachweis. Die Herstellung von NaATT-5 wurde beschrieben.
