摘要
The present paper describes the preparation of new organic reagent 2-[2-（6-chloro benzothiazolyl） azo]-resorcinol （6-CIBTAR = LH2） and used for the spectrophotometric determination of traces microgram amount of nickel （II） and copper （II） was found to form Ni（II）-CIBTAR at pH 7.5 giving a green coloured complex with maximum absorption at wavelength 636 nm and copper （II） was found to from Cu（II）-CIBTAR at pH 6.5 giving green bluish coloured complex with maximum absorption at wavelength 648 nm. The molar absorptivity （~） of the complexes are 0.3695 ~ 104 L.moll-cml and 0.3933 ~ 154 L＇mol＇l.cm1 for Ni（II） and Cu（II） respectively. Calibration curves for the determination of nickel（II） and copper （II） conformed to beers law over the concentration rang of （1-20） μg.mL-1. The DL （detection limit）, RSD （relative standard deviations）, RE （relative errors） and recovery for Ni（II） and Cu（II） complexes were found to be D.L = 0.45, 0.61; R.S.D% = 1.81, 2.04; Erei% = 1.3, 0.86 and Re% = 98.7, 99.14 respectively. The analytical data show the metal to reagent ratio （mole ratio method; M：L） in Ni（II） and Cu（II） complexes are 1：2.
