Photometric determination of ruthenium with 3-nitroso-2,6-pyridinediol

Summary

A highly sensitive photometric method has been developed for the determination of ruthenium. The method is based on the purple colored complex formed when ruthenium is heated with 3-nitroso-2,6-pyridinediol (NPD) in slightly acidic solution. The molar absorptivity of the purple complex is 2.6 · 104l.mole−1,cm−1. The reaction ratio is 3∶1 reagent to ruthenium.

Zusammenfassung

Eine sehr empfindliche photometrische Methode zur Rutheniumbestimmung wurde ausgearbeitet. In schwach saurem Medium bildet Ruthenium beim Erhitzen mit 3-Nitroso-2,6-pyridindiol (NPD) einen purpurroten Komplex. Dessen molare Absorption beträgt 2,6 · 104 l/Mol.cm. Reagens und Ruthenium reagieren im Verhältnis 3∶1.
