Abstract
Complexing reactions of thorium with catechol have been studied by potentiometric and preparative methods. In acidic solution the formation of the mono-catechollate derivative only was indicated even in the presence of a large excess of catechol. The equilibrium constant K of the reaction: Th4+ + C6H4(OH)2 ⇓ [Th(C6H4O2)]2+ + 2H+ was found to be: K = 2.98 × 10-5 and the formation constant k of the complex was 5.25 × 1017. Potentiometric titrations of thorium nitrate in presence of catechol showed a sharp inflexion at four equivalents of alkali per mole of thorium ion, suggesting the possibility of an electrometric estimation method for thorium. New compounds (NH4)2-[Th(C6H4O2)3] C6H6O2 and (C5H5N)2Th(C6H6O2) 2 were isolated.
