Dithizone (cliphenylthiocarbazone) is a very important reagent for the calorimetric determination of- metals, but its reaction with manganese(I1) has not been fully studied. Akaiwa and Kawamoto’ were the first to note the synergic effect of pyridine on the extraction of manganese by dithizone (H,Dz) and to utilize this analytically. They showed that the extractable species had the composition ‘Mn(HD&Py,,, the value of n being unestablished. In the work described here, these results were extended, and practicable methods were developed for the determination of manganese( II). EXPERIMENTAL
Apparatus Several spectrophotometers were used, depending on the purpose of the measurement ; unless otherwise stated, l-cm glass cuvettes were used. pH values were measured with a Ridan compensation pH-meter, and a glass-saturated calomel electrode pair. ,1

Absorption curves for this complex and for dithizone in carbon tetrachloride solutions are presented in Fig. 1. The absorbance of the complex is stable for 10 min. Hydroxylamine was added to the aqueous phase to ensure the. presence of manganese(U), and 0.005 M cyanide was added to mask heavy metal traces, without affecting the manganese-dithizone reaction.

However, at the pH values necessary for almost quantitative extraction’of manganese; a’considerable portion of dithizone passes into the aqueous phase, and it is ‘therefore essential to maiqtain a high concentration of dithizone in the organic phase. Unfortunately, this ,leads’to an unfavourably high blank value. Free dithizone cannot be washed out of the carbon tetrachloride extract containing M~(HDz)~P~,, because the complex is then partially decomposed.

Under the conditions adopted and with various metals removed by prior extraction with dithizone at pH 7, thallium is the only interference. I ,’ This dithizone-pyridine method was used todetermine manganese in analytical reagent-grade sodium; chloride and in, high-purity tin: After the samples had, been brought into.solution, manganese ‘was separated’by using a lanthanum carrier?. The analytical data, listed in Table I indicate the good precision and accuracy of the method employed ;’ the reversion method, affords the better precision. sUtiARY

Manganese(H) can be extracted as the primary dithizonate Mn(HDz), over the optimal pH ranges 9.5-11.0 (CHC13) or 9.0-10.3 (Ccl,). Even with the dithizone in large excess only Xl-60% of manganese is extracted. Synergic enhancement, in. the presence of 0.6 A4 pyridine leads to extraction of the complex Mn(HDz),Py., over the pH range 8.5-10.2 provided that a lo-fold excess of dithizone is present. ,The extraction constant, for Ccl4 is 3 * 10’ 7. Direct and reversion procedures for the spectrophotometric determination of manganese(H) are described and applied to the determination of manganese in sodium chloride (p.a.) and high-purity. tin.
