Abstract

The catalytic action of mercuric ions upon the reaction of potassium ferrocyanide and nitrosobenzene is strongly inhibited by even small concentrations of cyanide ions. The progress of the inhibitive effect may be observed by measuring the extinction of the violet reaction product [Fe(CN)5NOPh)3. A method for the quantitative photometric determination of microquantities of cyanides has been developed. The coefficient of variation for a concentration
of 1x10-5 - 8x10-5 M /l of cyanide ion is shown to be 1.0 - 6.3%.
