An atomic absorption spectrometric method for the determination of trace amounts of zinc after adsorption of its [1-(2-pyridylazo)-2-naphthol] complex on microcrystalline naphthalene has been developed. This complex is adsorbed on microcrystalline naphthalene in the pH range 3.5-7.5 from large volumes of aqueous solutions of various alloys and biological samples with a preconcentration factor o...

Abstract The new Fe(II) complex [Fe(trident)(bmik)](ClO 4 ) 2 ( 1 (trident = bis(2-pyridylmethyl)benzylamine and bmik bis(1-methylimidazole)ketone) exhibits a change of magnetic moment in dichloromethane (DCM) solution upon addition pyridine which is attributed to the Coordination-Induced Spin State Switching effect (CISSS). By attaching photoisomerizable azopyridine sidegroup tridentate ligand...
