Item A simple and selective complexometric method for the determination of thallium in presence of other metal ions is proposed based on the selective masking ability of ethanethiol towards thallium(III). Thallium present in a given sample solution is first complexed with a known excess of EDTA and the surplus EDTA is titrated with standard zinc sulphate solution at pH 5-6(hexamine) using xylenol orange as the indicator. A 0.3% aqueous solution of ethanethiol is then added to displace EDTA from the Tl(III)-EDTA complex. The released EDTA is titrated with standard zinc sulphate solution as before. Reproducible and accurate results are obtained for 3.70 mg to 74.07 mg of Tl (III) with relative error less than ±0.44% and coefficient of variation not more than 0.27%. The interference of various ions was studied and the method was used for the analysis of thallium in its synthetic alloy mixtures and also in complexes. ©2006 Sociedade Brasileira de Química.(Sociedade Brasileira de Quimica, Complexometric determination of thallium(III) using ethanethiol as a selective masking agent) Karthikeyan, J.; Parameshwara, P.; Nityananda Shetty, A.N.; Shetty, P.2006Item A complexometric method for the determination of mercury(II) in presence of other metal ions, based on the selective masking action of ethanethiol towards mercury(II) is described. Mercury(II) present in a given sample solution is first complexed with an excess of EDTA and the unreacted EDTA is titrated against zinc sulphate solution at pH 5-6 (hexamine buffer) using xylenol orange as the indicator. An excess of a 0.3 % solution of ethanethiol is then added to displace EDTA from the Hg(II)-EDTA complex. The released EDTA is titrated with a standard zinc sulphate solution. Reproducible and accurate results are obtained for 4-85 mg of mercury(II) with a relative error of less than ± 0.46 % and coefficient of variation of not more than 0.47 %. The effects of the presence of various ions were studied. The method can be used for the analysis of mercury in its synthetic alloy mixtures and also in complexes.(Serbian Chemical Society, Indirect complexometric determination of mercury(II) in synthetic alloys and complexes using ethanethiol as a selective masking agent) Karthikeyan, J.; Parameshwara, P.; Nityananda Shetty, A.N.; Shetty, P.2006Item Complexometric determination of palladium(II) using ethanethiol as a selective masking agent(2006) Karthikeyan, J.; Parameshwara, P.; Nityananda Shetty, A.N.; Shetty, P.A complexometric method based on the selective masking property of ethanethiol towards palladium(II) is proposed. In presence of diverse metal ions, palladium(II) is complexed with excess EDTA and the surplus EDTA is backtitrated with standard zinc sulphate solution at pH 5-5.5 (acetic acid-sodium acetate buffer) using xylenol orange as indicator. An excess of a 0.1% aqueous solution of ethanethiol is then added to displace EDTA from Pd(II)-EDTA complex. The released EDTA is titrated with the same standard zinc sulphate solution as before. Reproducible and accurate results are obtained in the concentration range of 0.5-14.26 mg of palladium with relative error of ±0.40% and coefficient of variation not exceeding ±0.34%. The effect of diverse ions is studied. The method has been used for the determination of palladium in its complexes, catalysts and synthetic alloy mixtures.
