The complex formation between the anionic chelate of molybdenum(VI) with the bidentate ligand of 3,5-dinitrocatechol (3,5-DNC) and its ion-association with the cation of 2,3,5-triphenyl-2?-tetrazolium chloride (TTC) in the liquid-liquid extraction system Mo(VI)?3,5-DNC?TTC?H2O?CHCl3 were studied by spectrophotometry. The validity of Beer's law was checked and some analytical characteristics of the system were calculated under the optimum conditions for the chelate formation and extraction. The effect of various co-existing ions and reagents on the process of chelate formation and ion-association was investigated.
