Abstract A selective and sensitive method for the microgram determination of vanadium(V) with α-phenylstyrylacrylohydroxamic acid by selective extraction of the blueish violet vanadium-hydroxamate complex with Aliquat 336 from acidic medium is described. The effect of thiocyanate on the extraction is discussed. The vanadium-hydroxamate complex has λmax 553 nm and molar absorptivity 7.8 × 103 l mol−1 cm−1, while the mixed 1∶2∶1 complex, vanadium-hydroxamate-Aliquat 336, has λmax 546 nm and molar absorptivity 8.2 × 103 l mol−1 cm−1. The system obeys Beer's law in the range 0.3−10.0 mg l−1 vanadium. Sandell's sensitivity is 0.00624 μg cm2. The sensitivity is increased twentyfold by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission measurements on the extract and the detection limit is more than 1 ng ml−1. Vanadium is determined in standard alloys, rock, environmental and clinical samples.
