Photometric determination of niobium with azo-dyestuffs

The azo-dyestuffs, which contain the analytically functional O,O'-dioxyazo group and are widely employed as photometric reagents for niobium, are reviewed. Two new groups of reagents are described : mono-azo-dyestuns based on R-salt and 2,7-bisazo dyestuffs based on chromotropic acid. The react...

Summary:The azo-dyestuffs, which contain the analytically functional O,O'-dioxyazo group and are widely employed as photometric reagents for niobium, are reviewed. Two new groups of reagents are described : mono-azo-dyestuns based on R-salt and 2,7-bisazo dyestuffs based on chromotropic acid. The reaction with niobium is sensitive (epsilon = 20,000 to 40,000), selective and takes place in strongly acidic solution (0.5-6M hydrochloric or nitric acid). It is possible to extract with butanol the diphenylguanidine salt of the corresponding niobium complex and to measure the absorbance of the extract.
