Abstract:A green quaternary complex of manganese with o-phenanthroline(Phen), cetyltrimethylammoniunbromide (CTMAB) and chromazurol S (CAS) has been studied in the PH range of 10.10~10.80, with maximum ab-sorption at 612nm and molar absorptivity being 8.79×104L·mol-1·cm-1. Beer‘s law is obeyed in the range of 0~16μg/25ml for manganese. The molar ratio for Mn-Phen-CTMAB-CAS in the complex is established to be 1:1:4:2.The influence of foreign ions and their elimination have also been studied.
