Abstract
2′-Hydroxy chalcone gave an intense orange-yellow color with beryllium in the pH range 5·5–6·2. The limits of identification and dilution were 0·125γ and 1:4 × 105 respectively. A detailed spectro-photometric investigation of the color reaction was carried out. The complex obeyed Beer’s Law in the concentration range of 0·5–6·0p.p.m. at 460 nm. In the complex the ratio of metal to ligand is 1:2. The instability constant of the complex was 2·176 × 10−6 at 28°. Oxalate, tartrate, citrate and fluoride interfered. The tolerance limits of iron, aluminium, chromium, uranium, thorium and vanadium are reported.
