The paper presents a spectrophotometric study of the binary system Rh(III)-2-thioxo-4-thiazolidinone. The formation conditions and the analytical application of the formed complex for spectrophotometric determination of Rh(III) were studied. The composition of the Rh(III) chelate with this particular ligand was determined by the continuous variation method, its instability constant being Kinst = 1,61·10-8 mol2L-2.

Cefotaxime, a β-lactam antibiotic, has a structure which enables it to act as a chelating agent. The formation of Fe(III) complex with cefotaxime has been studied colorimetrically at an absorption maximum of 480 nm at different temperatures. The data showed that Fe(III) and cefotaxime combine in the molar ratio of 1:1  at pH 7.4 with ionic strength maintained using 0.1M KNO3. The stability constants of the complex were calculated to be 1.56 - 1.90 x 104 by continuous variation method and 1.34 - 1.71 x 104 by mole ratio method at 25 and 40 oC respectively. ∆HƟ values for the complex were calculated to be -1.02 x 104 and -1.05 x 104 J by continuous variation method and mole ratio method respectively. ∆GƟ of the complex were calculated to be -2.44 – (-2.51) x 104 J by continuous variation method and -2.41- (- 2.48)  x 104 J by mole ratio method at 25 and 40 oC.  ∆SƟ of the complex were calculated to be 2.44 - 2.51 x 104 J/K by continuous variation method and -2.41 -2.48) x 104 J/K by mole ratio method at 25 and 40 oC respectively. Cefotaxime is a good chelating agent and can be an efficient antidote in the therapy of copper overload or poisoning.

5-Hydroxy-6-mercapto-benzo [a] phenazine (HMBP) is proposed as a sensitive and selective analytical reagent for the extractive spectrophotometric determination of copper (II). Copper reacts with HMBP to give a dark red complex which is soluble in chloroform. The composition of the CuII � HMBP complex is established as 1:2 by Job�s continuous variation method and molar ratio method. The instability constant of the complex calculated by Job�s relation for nonisomolar series is 4.65 . 10-9, at room temperature. The CuII-HMBP complex in chlorophorm shows a maximum absorbance at 495 nm, with molar absorptivity and Sandell�s sensitivity values of 7.39 . 103dm3 mol-1 cm-1 and 0.012 mg cm-2, respectively. Beer�s law is obeyed in the concentration range 0.67 - 26.90 mg mL-1 and the detection limit is 0.59 mg mL-1. A repetition of the method is checked by finding the relative standard deviation (RSD) at 1.00 mg mL-1 CuII of 0.6%. The method is successfully employed for the determination of copper (II) in environmental samples. The reliability of the method is assured by analysing the standard alloys and by inter-comparison of experimental values, using an atomic absorption spectrometer.
