AIM – Electrochemical studies on heterocyclic compound containing nitrogen is the topic of interest for many researchers. Sulphur containing heterocyclic compounds were used as amperometric reagents. In analytical chemistry rhodanine (2-Sulfanylidene-1, 3-thiazolidin-4-one) and its derivatives are used as amperometric reagents for trace determination of several transition metal ions. In this paper we have synthesized, characterized and has been used 3-phenyl-rhodanine as spectrophotometric reagents for determination of certain metal ions.

I. INTRODUCTION

In analytical chemistry, rhodanine and its derivatives are highly used as highly sensitive reagents for determination of several metal ions1,2. Structurally rhodanine (2-Sulfanylidene-1, 3-thiazolidin-4-one) is a thiazole heterocyclic compound having five member ring with sulfur and nitrogen as hetro center. Carbonyl group on fourth carbon also makes it a wonder molecule. 3-phenyl-rhodanine has been used as a spectrophotometric reagent for determination of ions3,4. Due to coordination at the metallic surface, it is an essentially as the mixed-type inhibitor of mild steel in low pH solution5 and having ability to inhibit the corrosion. Rhodanine and its derivatives was well known spot test reagent and can be used as amperometric reagent. During last few years electrochemical studies on aromatic compounds were subject of many investigations6,7. Nowadays electrochemical techniques is well established and widely used in organic chemistry and termed as ‘organic polarography’. Amperometric titrations have a wide field of applicability can be accomplished successfully.
