Popis: A simple, rapid, selective, sensitive and reliable extractive spectrophotometric method was developed for the determination of ruthenium(III) using 2-nitrobenzaldehyde thiocarbohydrazone (2-NBATCH) as a chromogenic chelating ligand. The ruthenium(III)‒2-NBATCH complex is formed in aqueous acetic acid media (0.7 M) containing an organic solvent after 5 min heating on a water bath. The red colored complex is extracted into 1,2-dichloroethane and absorbance is measured at 445 nm against reagent blank. The Beer’s law is obeyed within 1‒6 g/mL of ruthenium(III), the optimum concentration range was 2‒5 g/mL of ruthenium(III) evaluated by Ringbom’s plot. Molar absorptivity and Sandell’s sensitivity of complex were 1.41 × 104 L/mol/cm and 0.0075 μg/cm2, respectively. The stoichiometry of complex was 1: 3 established from Job’s method of continuous variation, molar ratio method and logarithmic slope method. The proposed method was applied for determination of ruthenium(III) in binary and ternary, synthetic mixtures corresponding to fission product elements alloy and ruthenium(III) catalysts.
