Abstract: Anew reagent,p-methyldjbronioarsenazo, was synthesized and a simple, rapid, seusitive and selective method for the spectro-protometric determination of rare earths was developed based upon the formation of p-methyldibromoarse-nazo-rare earth complexes.In HCl-NaAc medium, the reaction of rare earths with p-methyldibromoar-senazo forms blue violet complexes, which are stable over 24 hours. The absor-bance was measured at 635nm. The apparent molar absorptivity coefficient of rare earth complexes are very much the same (εLa= 1.38×105, εYb = 1.01 ×105, εY= 1.17×105). The composition of complex is La(Y):R= 1:2.The method has been successfully applied to the determination of micro amount of rare earths in wheat and aluminium alloy.
