1-(2'-thiazolylazo)-2-naphthol (TAN) reacts with zirconium(IV) and hafnium(IV) in acid media to form sparingly soluble 1:4 red-colored chelates, which are dissolved in 40 and 32% methanol (v/v) respectively. The complex of Hf(IV) is stable only in the presence of sodium dodecylsulfate (0.1%, w/v), which also increases the sensitivity of the system. The Zr(IV)-TAN and Hf(IV)-TAN and Hf(IV)-TAN complexes exhibit maximum absorbance at 600 and 580 nm, obey Beer's law in the concentration ranges 0.04-2.88 and 0.8-2.60 ..mu..g/ml of Zr(IV) and Hf(IV), have molar absorptivities of 5.25 x 10/sup 4/ and 3.43 x 10/sup 4/ liter x mole/sup -1/ x cm/sup -1/, Sandell sensitivities 2.0 and 5.0 ng x cm/sup 12/, and coefficients of variation +/-1.40 and +/-1.06 respectively.
