The formation and extraction of the ion-associates of the vanadium(V)-3,5-dinitrocatechol (DNC) anionic chelate complex with various basic dyes have been studied and a new sensitive extraction-spectrophotometric method for the determination of vanadium based on the system V(V)-DNC-Brilliant Green has been developed. Beer's law is obeyed up to a vanadium concentration of 0.3 mug/ml and the molar absorptivity is 1.7 x 1O(5) l.mole(-1). cm(-1) at 630 nm. The molar ratios of the components and the form of the vanadium(V) cation in the extracted compound have been determined, and the formula [VO(OH)(DNC)(2-)(2)][BG(+)](2) is proposed. Titanium, molybdenum, tungsten, EDTA and thiocyanate interfere seriously. The method becomes specific after a preliminary separation of vanadium by its extraction as the BPHA complex from H(2)SO(4)-HF medium, and is 40 times more sensitive than the spectrophotometric BPHA method. The proposed method has been applied to determination of traces of vanadium (about 10(-5)%) in alums.
