A new selective and sensitive method for extraction of yellow Mo(VI)-caffeic acid complex with a liquid ion exchanger, Aliquat 336 from 4.0 pH, and spectrophotometric determination of molybdenum in trace amounts is described. The molar absorptivity of the complex is 1.1 {times} 10{sup 5} 1 mol{sup {minus}1} cm{sup {minus}1} at 340 nm and the color system obeys Beers law in the range 0.04-0.99 ppm of Mo(VI). The molybdenum is also determined with AAS and the method is applied for its determination in steel and environmental samples.
