Abstract

A simple photometric method for the determination of palladium has been worked out, employing pyridylazo-resorcinol (PAR) as a complexing ligand for the metal ion. The coloured species is extractable into chloroform in the presence of diethylamine, the absorbance of which is measured at 535 nm. The method is free from the interference of a large number of elements particularly the other platinum metals. It obeys Beer's law in the range of 0–3 μg Pd/ml with Sandell's sensitivity of 0.0034 μg Pd cm−2. The ratio of metal to ligand in the complex is found to be 1:1. Analysis of various samples has been carried out with satisfactory and reproducible results (standard deviation ±0.002).
