Apparatus A commercial spectrophotometer is quickly adapted for photometric . For example, Hunter and Miller8 have modified the Unicam SP 500 and Bricker and Sweetser9have converteq the Beckman DU for titrations.

REVIEW OF RECENT WORK Apparatus Maher10 has discussed the development ofautomatic photometric titrimeters. The Beckman Model B spectrophotometer has been modified· for automatic titrations.ll An instrument for automatic derivative spectrophotometric titrations has been described,12 and Chalmers and Walley13 have constructed a recording titrimeter. Stolyarov14 has described an apparatus for titrations in ultra-violet light where a filter with maximum transmission at 365 m,u is used. Details have been given for the modification of the Beckman DU spectrophotometer for titrations.15 Wallraf16 has constructed a filter photometer for the of calcium and magnesium with ethylenediaminetetra-acetate.

Review articles and theoretical considerations Goddu and Hume2 have discussed the principles of the photometric titration method and have reviewed previous work in the field up to the end of 1953. Underwood17 has described the advantages of photometric titrations and the applica­ tion of the method to acid-base, oxidation-reduction, turbidimetric and complexo­ metric reactions. Grunwald18 has reported a method for accurate end-point determination in photo­ metric titrations where the titration curves are rounded in the vicinity of the end­ point.

Class I titrations Acid-base: Goddu and Hume19 have studied the photometric titration of a weak acid (or base) with a strong base (or acid) and have shown that a sharp inflexion ofthe graph of optical density plotted against volume of titrant is obtained only when the product of ionization constant and molarity of the weak component, is ::> 10-12 at concentrations of 10-5M and above. Telluric acid has been satisfactorily titrated with aqueous ammonia at 240-280 m,u.20 In glacial acetic acid, quinoline, o-chloroaniline, m-chloraniline and sodium acetate have been titrated photometrically with acetous perchloric acid. 21 Photometric titrations in non-aqueous solvents have so far received little attention. Further investigations in this field could be profitably undertaken. Oxidation-reduction: Cerous ions in the presence oflarge amounts of ceric ions in neutral pyrophosphate medium have been determined with permanganate.22 , in bismuth-base alloys, can be determined by the titration of the ceriumIII in pyro­ phosphate medium with permanganate in the E.E.L. absorptiometer.23 Deshmukh and Bapat24 have titrated thiourea quantitatively in hydrochloric acid­ bromide solutions with potassium iodate solution, using a Hilger Spekker absorptio­ meter for photometric end-point detection. Sweetser25 has titrated arseniclII with ceriumIV at 320 m,u and, ironII and uraniumIV

durch 5 minutiges Schiitteln mit 0,5 g Aluminiumhydroxyd oder Aluminiumoxyd und filtriert. 1 ml der Losung ist zur Fiillung von 3,5 mg Kalium geeignet. Es ist zweckmiissig die Losung stets frisch zu bereiten. Waschfliissigkeit: 0,1 g des na,.h obiger Vorschrift gefiillten und mit Wasser ausgewaschenen Kaliumtetraphenylboratniederschlages wird mit 250 ml Wasser wiihrend 30 Minuten geschiittelt, zur triiben Losung dann 0,5-1 g Aluminiumhydroxyd oder Aluminiumoxyd gesetzt, einige Minuten hindurch umriihrt, filtriert und die ersten 20 ml des Filtrats neuerdings auf das Filterpapier gegossen. Die Waschfliissigkeit muss vollstiindig klar sein. Verfahren: Die 10-100 mg Kalium enthaltende Losung verdiinnt man auf 100 mI, siiuert mit n Essigsiiure gegen Lakmus eben an, dann setzt man zur Losung in ungefiihr 1,5-fachen Dberschuss tropfenweise die 0,1 n Natriumtetraphenylboratlosung zu, filtriert in 5 Minuten durch ein dichtes Filterpapier und wiischt dann den Niederschlag mit der Waschfliissigkeit solange bis das Filtrat mit Silbemitrat schon kaum eine Reaktion zeigt. Das Filterpapier gibt man samt Niederschlag in das Glas, wo die Fiillung erfolgte, zuriick, giesst es mit 10-20 mI Aceton auf und lOst den Niederschlag unter Umriihren mit einem Glasstab. Die acetonige Losung siiuert man mit 2 mI n Essigsiiure an, fiigt 3 Tropfen Variaminblaulosung hinzu und titriert mit der Silbernitratmasslosung bis zum Erscheinen der violetten Farbe. Gegen Ende der Titration titriert man tropfenweise und schiittelt nach jedem Tropfen kriiftig urn. 1 ml 0,1 n Silbemitratlosung entspricht 3,9096 mg Kalium.
