Abstract
The invention is reagents and procedures for determining an amount of cations present in a sample, the reagent including one or more chromogenic cryptand compounds of formula I ##STR1## wherein k and j, either same or different, are equal to 1 to about 5; PA1 m and n, either same or different, are equal to 0 to about 4; PA1 a and e, either same or different, are equal to 0 to about 2; PA1 b and d, either same or different, are equal to 0 to about 5; PA1 R, either same or different, is hydrogen. PA1 lower alkyl, lower alkylidene, lower alkenyl, allyl, or aryl; and PA1 -Q- is ##STR2## wherein X is CH, N, or COH; and Y includes ##STR3## except that when Q is ##STR4## wherein Y is p-nitrophenylazo, 3-phenylisothiazolyl-5-azo, isothiazolyl-5-azo, thiazolyl-5-azo, 2,4,6-trinitrophenylazo, p-nitrostyryl, p-benzoquinonemonoimino or bis-(p-dimethylaminophenyl)hydroxymethyl, then the following condition cannot be present: that simultaneously b is equal to 0 or 1, d is equal to 0 or 1, j is equal to 1, n is equal to 1 or 2, a is equal to 1, e is equal to 1, k is equal to 1 and m is equal to 2.
