Dithizon (English spelling)

Japanese: ジチゾン - じちぞん(英語表記)dithizon
Dithizon (English spelling)

One of the most representative organic reagents. Its correct name is diphenylthiocarbazone. It is a dark purple crystalline powder. It is practically insoluble in water and ethanol (ethyl alcohol), but is highly soluble in carbon tetrachloride and chloroform. The structural formula of the keto form is shown in the figure . It reacts with heavy metal ions such as cadmium, silver, mercury, copper, zinc, and lead to form colored precipitates (yellow-brown, red, purple, etc.) of chelate complexes that are poorly soluble in water, so it is used to detect and separate heavy metal ions. In addition, the precipitates dissolve in chloroform, so they can be used for colorimetric determination. It is the most extensively studied of this type of reagent.

Japanese:

有機試薬の代表的なものの一つ。正しくはジフェニルチオカルバゾンという。黒紫色の結晶性粉末。水やエタノール(エチルアルコール)にはほとんど溶けないが、四塩化炭素、クロロホルムなどにはよく溶ける。にケト形の構造式を示す。カドミウム、銀、水銀、銅、亜鉛、鉛などの重金属イオンと反応して、水に溶けにくいキレート錯体の着色沈殿(黄褐色、赤色、紫色など)をつくるので、重金属イオンの検出、分離に用いられる。また沈殿はクロロホルムに溶けるので、比色定量に利用することができる。この種の試薬のうち、もっともよく研究されている。
