Their spectrophotometric behavior, such as the conditions suitable for the reactions and the effects of foreign ions, were thoroughly studied. The Th:Mo:BD ratio in the complexes was found to be 1:12:3. Their absorption maxima were at 570, 570 and 590 nm with apparent molar absorptivities of 3.50 x 10 -6, 3.63 x 106 and 4.45 x 106 dm3 mol-1 cm -l, respectively. Beer's law was obeyed up to 0.8,0.8 and 0.7 ug thorium per 25 ml, respectively. The detection limits (3<T) were 1.1,1.8 and 3.4ngml-1, respectively, and for 0.02 \ig ml -l solution of thorium the relative standard deviations were 3.0,2.9 and 1.5%, respectively (n = 11). The proposed methods were applied to the determination of trace amounts of thorium in some geological samples. 收起
