Diformylhydrazine as analytical reagent for spectrophotometric determination of iron(II) and iron(III).

Anal. Bioanal. Chem 373(4-5) , 299-303, (2002)

The bidentate ligand diformylhydrazine (OHC-HN-NH-CHO), DFH, combines with iron(II) and iron(III) in alkaline media in the pH range 7.3-9.3 to form an intensely colored red-purple iron(III) complex with an absorption maximum at 470 nm. Beer's law is obeyed fo...
