Abstract

AbstractSpectrophotometric study has been made with a view to investigate the composition and stability of the chelate formed between uranium(VI) and penta sodium salt of Methylthymol Blue (MTB). The composition of the red coloured chelate (λmax510 nm) as established by two different methods, comes out to 1:1 (metal:chelating agent). The chelate is stable between pH 6.2 and 6.9. The average value of log K at 30° (pH 6.7 ± 0.1; μ = 0.1 M) is 5.6 ± 0.2 and ΔG° at the same temperature is −7.7 ± 0.2 kcal/mole.
