Аннотация

The formation of an ion-associated complex between the anionic chelate of Mo(VI)–3,5-dinitrocatehol (3,5-DNC) and the cation of 3-(2-naphthyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium chloride (TV) in the liquid–liquid extraction system Mo(VI)–3,5-DNC–TV–H₂O–CHCl₃ was studied by spectrophotometry. The optimum conditions for the complex formation and extraction of the ion-associated complex were established. The effect of co-existing ions and reagents on the process of complex formation was investigated under optimum extraction conditions. The validity of Beer’s law was checked and some analytical characteristics were calculated. The association process in aqueous phase and the extraction equilibria were investigated and quantitatively characterized. The following key constants of the processes were calculated: association constant, distribution constant, extraction constant and recovery factor. The molar ratio of the reagents was determined by independent methods. Based on this, a reaction scheme, a general formula and a structure of the complex were suggested.
