Polarographic study of the dipropyldithiophosphinate complexes of Pd(II), Pb(II), Cd(II), and Zn(II) ions.

The complexes of the dithiophosphinic acids with Pd(II), Pb(II), Cd(II), and ZN(II) in a toluene-ethanol medium produce single polarographic waves. The half-wave potential is a linear function of the ligand concentration. The stabilities of these chelates, which are characterized by a sulphur-metal bond, are in the order: Pd(II) > Pb(II) > Cd(II) > Zn(II).

Analytical applications of graphite electrode modified with Bis(diisopropyloxithiophosphon)Disulphide.

A modified graphite electrode was produced by adsorption the bis(diisopropyloxythiophosphone)disulphide {(i-PrO-)(2)P(S)S-}(2) under vacuum. Its electrochemical characteristics in flowing stream were described. The modified electrode has been used for simultaneous determination of Cu(II), Ag(I) by flow injection anodic stripping voltammetry.
