Abstract
Complexometric titrations, namely, titrations based on the formation of complexes, occupied a minor place in the realm of titrations until the 1940s, except for the Liebig–Denigés and Votocek–Dubsky methods. Since 1940, the advent of complexones, particularly that of EDTA, has instigated very important progress in the field of titrimetric analysis based on the formation of complexes. This chapter is essentially devoted to Votocek–Dubsky’s method, which is mercurimetric. (Titrations with EDTA and complexones are studied in Chap. 28. Liebig–Denigés’ method is studied in the chapter devoted to argentimetric processes since it involves not only a complexation but also a precipitation; see Chaps. 36 and 37.)
