New chelating reagents for the complexation of metal ions in aqueous samples have been developed. The reagents synthesized and tested were 2,6-diacetylpyridine bis(N-methylenepyridiniohydrazone) dichloride (abbreviated H{sub 2}dapmp), 2,6-diacetylpyridine bis(N-methylene-N,N,N-trimethylammonio-hydrazone) dichloride (abbreviated H{sub 2}dapmta), and 2-acetylpyridine-4-ethyl-3-thiosemicarbazone (abbreviated Hapet). All three chelating reagents proved to be useful for the separation and determination of metal ions by reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography. Both H{sub 2}dapmp and H{sub 2}dapmta formed kinetically stable metal complexes that did not dissociate on the chromatographic column.
