Abstract 1- In the first chapter, the literature survey of the previous studies on the complexes of different metals specially lanthanides and actinides ions wi th the different azo compounds is given. The previous studies including also potentiometric, conductometric, spectrophotometric and polarographic studies on the metal complexes. 2- The experimental part includes the preparation of arsenazo dyes under investigation, the stock solutions together with their standardization. It comprises also an outline about the equipments used for conductometric, spectrophotometric, potentiometric, polarographic, IR, TGA and DTA measurements. 3- Chapter III includes the results and discussion of the studies on the solutions of complexes formed between arsenazo dyes under investigation with the ions (SC3+, y3+, La3+) and actinide and U02+) and its stability cons- 2 lanthanide metal metal ions (Th4+ tanto from the potentiometric measurement studies the proton-reagent stability constants are evaluated. The results give the metal-reagent stability constant of the complex log k1 and log k2 192 for 1:1 and 1:2 complexes formed between arsenazo dyes and metal ions. Comparison of the stability constants of the chelates under investigation it was found that the log k value is depend on the ionic size and oxidation state of the ions. The results of the pk values obtained are supported by its determination using different spectrophotometric methods namely the molar ratio, continuous variation and corresponding solution methods. The stability constants obtained by using the polarographic measurements for the different chelates are slightly different than that obtaind potentiometrically or spectrophotometrically which may be due to the reduction behaviour of the chelate on the DME. The stoichiometry of metal complexes in solution is also studies by different spectrophotometric methods namely the molar ratio, straight line and continuous vibration methods. The resul ts reveal tha t the complexes of 1:1 and 1:2 (M:L) types are formed for ligands I, II, III and IV. Stoichiometry of metal complexes in solution are also studies by conductometric titration method giving a ratio not much different from that obtained spectrophotometrically except for ligand IV which form 2: 1 (M:L) complex with different metal ions. ----------- ---------------- --------- - ------------------- ----- 193 The infrared absorption spectra of ligands and their metal chelates give an indication that the coordination and covalent bond for ligands I and II occur through the azo group and the hydroxyl group of naphthol part with the different metal ions whereas for ligands III and IV the bonds of the metal ions with it occur through carboxylic group and the hydroxyl one of the naphthoic part. For chela tes of the type 2: 1 of ligand IV, the coordination and covalent bonds occur to the second metal ion was through the azo group and one hydroxyl of the arsenate group. The molar conductance of the chelates are determined indicating that the chelates are non electrolyte in nature. The solid complexes are also analysed by the thermal methods viz. TGA to confirm the stoichiometry which indicate that the most chelate compounds are mononuclear but in case of 2_hydroxy-1-(1-phenylazo-2-arsonic acid) -3-naphthoic acid it form three types of complexes namely (1: 1) t (1 :2) and (2: 1) (M:L). The number of water molecules of crystallization are determined by dehydration method which supported by the TGA whereas, the number of water molecules coordinated to the metal ion are determined by TGA only. The latter is confirmed by endothermic peaks observed in the curves of TDA which exhibit also the positions of - - .------ 194 the phase transformation of the chelates under studies. The electronic absorption spectra of the solid metal chela tes of the ligands I-IV with Sc 3+, y3+, La 3+, Th4+ and uo~+ ions in DMF and nuj 01 mull show a red or blue shift for the CT band of the free ligand. Which confirmed generally that such ligands coordinated with the metal ions in some sort of chelation leading to the formation of the various types of chelates. 4- Chapter IV, includes the analytical determination of lanthanide metal ions (Sc3+, y3+, La 3 +) and actinide ions (Th4+ and uo~+) with arsenazo dyes under investigation using the spectrophotometric methods. The optimum blank solutions for the spectrophotometric determination of metal ions can be observed for the limiting value for the determination of all metal ions. Ligand III is the most sui table one to determine the metal ions under investigation. This due to that chelation of the metal ion wi t.hligand ill occurs through a chelating centre far from arsenic acid group of henderence effect .i . e through hydroxy and carboxy groups of naphthoic acid. Sc 3 + is the most suitable metal ion can be determined by ligand III because of the high molar absorptivity of its chelates. These results are also confirmed by the polarographic method for determining metal ions |
