The reagent forms 1 : 1 greenish yellow coloured complex with copper(II) at pH 4.0 and λmax 380 nm (E 1.55 x 104 dm3 mot-1 em-1); Sandell's sensitivity 0.004 μg cm-2, and Beer's law range 0.31-2.2 μg ml-1. It results a brown coloured 2: 3 complex with iron(lll) at pH 5.0 and λmax 380 nm (E 2.8 x 104 dm3 mol-1 cm-1); Sandell's sensitivity 0.002 μg em-1 and Beer's law range 0.14-1.0 μg ml-1. The method has been applied for the determination of copper in soil and alloy samples and iron( Ill) in cement sample.
