ligand, whereas in other complexes, APTH behavesas a bidentate ligand.

Electronic spectrum of the Cu(II) complex showsa unique strong ~eak near 525 nrn (19048 crrr+,or 19·048 kK) assignable to a d-d transition in asquare-planar field2.

The observed magnetic moment value of Cu(II)complex is 2·04 B.M. which shows the presence ofone unpaired electron normally expected for Cu(II)complexes.

The electronic spectrum of Ni(II) complex showsthree weak hands at 1075 (9302 cm'"], 635 (15748crrr '] and 385 nm (25974 em-I) characteristic ofoct~hedral Ni(II) ~~n. These bands may beassigned to the transrtions ; 3Au-+3T2g(vl)' 3A2p3TJg

(F) (v2) .and 3A2g-+3Tg (P) (V3) respectively.The ratio V2/Vl ~ 1·69 is usually acceptedfor octahedral Ni(II) complexes''. The values ofDq, B', ~o and ~ calculated! using the values ofthese transitions are 930·2 crrr+, 921 cmt, 12·78and 0·87 respectively.

The magnetic moment value of Ni(II) complexis 3·24 B.M. which shows the presence of two un-paired electro~s and is typical o~ octahedral Ni(II)complex. ThIS fact accompanied by magneticmoment and electronic spectral results led us tobelieve tha~ ?ctahedral stereochemistry is most likely.

The position, shape .and very low intensity ofthe absorption bands In the electronic spectrumof Co (II) complex are approximately similar tothose previously reported for octahedral Co(II)complexes+", The spectrum consists of bands at1125 nm (8888 cm+) and 500 nm (20000 cm+). Thefirst band may be identified with the transition4T}g(F)-+4T2g and the second band may be dueto the transition 4Tg(F)-+4TIg(P). The Dq, B',~o and ~ values are 1004·6 crrr", 818 crrr", 15·40and 0·84 respectively. These values have beencalculated using the frequencies corresponding toVI and Va transitions-. Using the relationshipV2= v1+l0 Dq, the V2 band would be expectedto occur at 18934 cnr+.

The magnetic moment of the Co(II) complexwas found to be 4·84 B.M. which is characteristicof high-spin octahedral Co(II) complexes".

The electronic spectrum of Fe(II) complex showsa broad and weak band around 1000 nm, whichis due to the transition 5T2p5Eg and is charac-teristic of high-spin octahedral iron (II)9.

The observed magnetic moment value 5·62 B.M.is consistent with the octahedral stereochemistryfor iron(II)lO,l1.

Zn(II) having the configuration 3d10, is expectedto form diamagnetic complex and on the basis ofelemental analysis and IR spectra of the complex,an octahedral structure for the complex may beproposed.

On the basis of thermoanalytical data, the probablemechanisms of decomposition of the complexesare given in Table 2.

The decomposition product at 475°, i.e. afterthe complete removal of the ligand was found tobe . CU~04' This was confirmed by quantitativeestimation of copper and sulphate ions. This wasfurther confirmed by taking the powder Xvraydiffraction pattern. The observed d values werein good agreement with the literature values's.

described". 2-Carboxy-5' -chloro-S' -hydroxyazoben-zene=l-sulphonic acid (CHCAS) was synthesizedfrom 5-sulphoanthranilic acid4 which was diazotizedand immediately coupled with p-chlorophenol inalkaline medium. The product was isolated asits barium salt and converted into sodium salt bytreating it with a calculated amount o.f sodiumsulphate. The sodium salt was recrystallized fromaq: ethanol. Finally the dye was purifi.ed by makingits free acid. The free acid was crystallized repeated-ly from 50% ethanol. The purity was checked byTLC (Found: C, 43·6; H, 2·4; N, 8·0; S, 8·8; Cl,10·0; eq. wt 178·1. C13H9N2ClS06 requires C,43·8; H, 2·5; N, 7·9; S, 9·0; CI, 9'9%; eq. wt 178·4).

2-Carboxy-2' -hydroxyazohenzenc- 5' ,4-dislllphonicacid (CHADS) was synthesized as described forCHCAS bv coupling" with p-sulphophenol. Thedye was purified as in tbe case of CHCAS and i~spurity checked by TLC (Found: C, 38·5; E, ~'J;N, 7·31; S, 15·7; eq. wt 133·7. C13HlON2S209requtresC, 38·8; H, 2·5; N, 7·0; S, 15·9%; eq. wt 134·1).

Stock solutions of these dyes were prepared bydissolving them in aqueous solution of requiredamount of sodium hydroxide. Pd(II) rerchlnratesolution was prepared from palladium chloride(AR) and was standardized by dimethylglyoximemethod. All other reagents were of AR grade.

A Beckman DU-2 spectrophotometer along withsilica cuvets of 1 em optical path was used formeasuring the absorbances. Beckman H-2 pHmeter with glass calomel electrode system wasused for pH measurements.

All experiments were performed at room tempe-rature. The pH of the solution was adjusted withsodium hydroxide and perchloric acid solutions ..

The variation of Amax with pH has been studied.The results indicated that all three reagents havetwo Amax at higher pH which can be attributedto the dissociation of phenolic group. It has alsobeen observed that the Amax and molar absorpti-vities of the reagents change with the nature ofsubstituent group present at p-position with respectto nhenolic OH.

The -SOaR group present might be dissociatingat lower pH value and thus not permitting itsdetermination (PK1 of CHMAS and CHCAS andpKl and PK2 of CHADS) under the present condi-tions of study.

The spectrophotometric method? gave the valuesof pK2 and PK3 to be 3·50 and 10·30 for CHMAS,and 3·45 and 8·90 for CHCAS respectively. Thevalues of PK3 and pK4 obtained for CHADS were3·45 and 8·50 respectively. The PK3 of CHMASand CHCAS, and PK4 of CHADS were further
