A new 2-[6-Nitro-2-benzothiazolylazo]-4-amino benzoic acid (NO2BTAAB) organic reagent was synthesized. A sensitive and selective spectrophotometric method was proposed for the rapid determination of Pb(II) using (NO2BTAAB) reagent .The
reaction between Pb(II) and (NO2BTAAB) reagent is instantaneous at pH=8.0 and
the absorbance remains stable for over 24 hrs.
The Method allows for the determination of Pb(II) over the range (0.1-5.5) μg.ml-1
,with molar absorptivity of (2.248 x 10+4)L.mol -1.cm-1 and a detection limit of 0.012
μg.ml-1.Recovery and relative error values of precision and accuracy of method were
found to be R.S.D=2.6% , Re=103 % , and Erel = 3 % . The properties of complex
was studied and show;(M:R) ratio was 1:2 at pH=8.0 ,and the stability constant of
1.254 x 10+10 L2.mol-2 . The interferences of ions (NH4+,Ni2+ , CrO42- , Ag+ , Cu2+, Hg+2 ,WO4-2, Zn+2, Co2+ , Mg2+ , Cd2+, Ba2+ , Bi3+) and masking agents effect on absorbance were studied
