Extractive Spectrophotometric Determination of Tungsten(VI) Using 3-Hydroxy-2-(2'-Thienyl)-4-OXO-4H-1- Benzopyran

Abstract
A simple, rapid, highly sensitive and selective spectrophotometric method for the determination of tungsten(VI) in trace amounts is developed using 3- hydroxy-2-(2'-thienyl)-4-oxo-4H-1-benzopyran (HTB) as a reagent for the complexation of metal ion and extracting the 1:2 (metal:ligand) complex into dichloromethane from 0.2 M HCl solution. It obeys Beer's law in the range 0-2.8 g Wml-1 with molar absorptivity and Sandell's sensitivity at 415 nm as 6.45 x 104 L mol-1cm-1 and 0.0029 g W(VI) cm-2, respectively. The method is free from the interference of a large number (39) of elements and handles satisfactorily the analysis of various samples of varying complexity.
