Vanadium(V) forms anionic chelates with 4-(2-pyridylazo)-resorcinol (PAR) at pH 5.0-7.8, which can be quantitatively extracted into nitrobenzene as an ion pair with xylometazolonium cation (XMH). The ternary system has an absorption maximum at 540 nm and obeys Beer's law in the range 0-1.8 /sup +/g of vanadium/mL with a molar absorptivity 4.56 x 10/sup 4/ L mol/sup -1/ cm/sup -1/. The Job's method of continuous variations indicated a composition of 1:1:1 for vanadium: PAR:XMH for the extracting species. In the presence of 1,3-diaminocyclohexanetetraacetic acid as a masking agent, the extraction becomes highly selective, and this method can be applied for the determination of vanadium(V), in the presence of various metal ions in synthetic mixtures, in steels, and in titanium base alloy.
