METAL CHELATES OF RARE EARTHS. I. COMPOSITION, STABILITY, AND ANALYTICAL APPLICATIONS OF ALIZARIN RED S CHELATES OF SCANDIUM AND YTTRIUM

Journal Article · · Microchemical Journal (U.S.)
The formation of pink colored chelates between scandium and Alizaiin Red S ( lambda /sub max/ 500 m mu ) and yttrium and Alizarin Red S ( lambda /sub max/ 510 m mu ) at pH 3.0 are reported. Absorbance measurements indicate the composition of the chelates to be 1 : 2 (metal: chelating agent). Adherence to Beer's law is obseived over a wide range of metal concentration; the color intensities are also stable within a wide range of pH. The values of log K (K = stability constant) were calculated by two different methods and are 9.0 and 9.4 for the scandium chelate, and 9.6 and 9.6 for the yttrium chelate (pH = 4.0; temperature = 25 deg C). The effects of pH, temperature, time, and diverse ions of the reactions n the possibl use of Alizarin Red S in the determination of scandium and yttrium. (auth)
