Abstract

The existence of the red-orange CdLH+ complex (λmax = 406 nm, εmax = 1.78.104 mmol-1.cm2, log *β111 = -1.66+0.04) and CdL complex (λmax = 495 nm, εmax = 3.2.104 mmol-1. cm2, log *β112 = -8.25+0.05) was demonstrated in aqueous solutions of PAR with a concentration excess of Cd(II) ions. It was shown that a 10% v/v acetone medium containing Cd(II) in a concentration excess of PAR contains the following complexes: CdL2H2max = 507 nm, εmax = 1.4 . 104 mmol-1 cm(2), log*β122 = -2.85+0.04), CdL2H-max = 495 nm, εmax = 6.25 . 104 mmol-1 cm2, log *β123 = -9.58 + 0.04) and CdL2-2max = 495 nm, εmax = 9.16 . 104 mmol-1 cm2, log *β124 = -17.33 + 0.06). The basic parameters of the individual complexes were determined by graphical interpretation using slope-intercept transformations and by numerical interpretation using the generalized SQUAD-G program. The statistical parameters of the spectrophotometric method of determining cadmium ions were evaluated from the linear part of the calibration curve using the STAT program.
