A simple, selective and highly sensitive procedure for spectrophotometric determination of nickel has been developed. At pH 5.5, nickel reacts with 2-(5-bromo-2-pyridylazo)-5-diethylaminophenol in water-ethanol medium to form a red-violet complex which has two absorption maxima, at 520 and 56Onm. The molar absorptivity at 56Onm is 1.26 x 10(5) l.mole(-1).cm(-1). Beer's law is obeyed for 0-15 mug of nickel. Nickel in aluminium alloys and electroplating waste-water has been determined by this method.
