Abstract: Three rhodanine color reagents 5-(4'-chloro-2'-carboxylphenylazo)-rhodanine,5-(4'-bromo-2'-carboxylphenylazo )-rhodanine and 5-(4'-iodo-2'-carboxylphenylazo)-rho-danine have been synthesized. The dissociation constants of the color reagents Ka1 and Ka2 are given. The color reactions of them with Cu(Ⅱ) are studied.The molar ratio of Cu(Ⅱ) to the color reagents are found to be 1:2. The Beer's law is obeyed in the range of 0~2.5μg/mL for Cu(Ⅱ). The chloro reagent has been used for copper determination in alloy samples with satisfactory results.

Key words: rhodanine, spectrophotometry, copper
