A simple, rapid and sensitive spectrophotometric procedure for the determination of platinum has been elaborated. Pt traces were determined in the form of the PtCl(6)(2-) complex in hydrochloric acid solution whose concentration varies from 0.01 to 2 mol L(-1) by measuring the absorbance at 260 nm. The detection limit is 4.7 x 10(-7) mol L(-1), the linearity range from 2 x 10(-6) mol L(-1) to 7 x 10(-6) mol L(-1), and the correlation coefficient is r=0.9990. No significant interferences were observed from a majority of the investigated ions, such as Zn(II), Pb(II), Mn(II), Cd(II), Co(II) and Ni(II) with the exception of Cu(II), Sb(III), Fe(III), Pd(II), Sn(II) and I(-) ions. The method was successfully applied for the determination of Pt traces in different solid samples and the recovery from inorganic materials was studied.
The complex formation of dimethylglyoxime and platinum(IV) in alkaline medium has been investigated by ultraviolet spectroscopy. This study has shown that more than one complex species exists in solution. The effects of pH variation of ammonia buffer solution from 6.0 to 13.0 were investigated with respect to the absorption spectra. The molar ratios method, the Job's method and the method of relative recovery of complex species were used. It was found that the stoichiometric ratio Pt(IV)/dimethylglyoxime was 1:1, 1:2 and 2:1. The molar absorptivity (log ε = 4.1 at 260 nm) and the formation constant of the complex (log K2,1 = 15.0) were obtained. The stability constants of the [Pt(Hdmg)2(NH3)2] complex determined by the molar ratios and Job's method were log β2 = 9.2 ± 0.2 and log β2 = 9.3 ± 0.2, respectively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
