Abstract: Simplex optimization principles were applied to determining the composition of ternary complex of Cu(I)-Dphen-MO by two methods.Cu(I) reacts with neocuproine(2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline) and methyl orange (MO) to form a colour ternary complex which could be extracted into CHCl3 and showed an absorption maximum at 420 nm.The molar ratio of the components of Cu(I):Dphen:MO in the complex was estimated to be 1:2:1,the composition is [Cu(Dphen)2]+MO-.It is shown that the two methods are simple and accuracy.
