Abstract: The reaction between six dyes of the alizarin green series (L) and vanadates (V) in the presence of cetylpyridinium ion (CPy⁺, S) was studied. Provided the concentration of surfactant was lower than the critical micellar concentration, defined ternary complexes of the type VL₂S₄ or VL₂S₆ arose in the solution. The values of equilibrium constants of the investigated complex-forming equilibria were determined and a method of photometric and chelatometric determination of vanadium in the interval 4.5—60 μg and 0.05—6 mg was proposed. The mechanism of ternary complex formation was also explained.
