Abstract

1,5-Bis(2-hydroxyphenyl)-3-cyanoformazans substituted in at least one of the 3-, 4- and 5-positions of either phenyl moiety are useful for the determination of magnesium ions. The cyanoformazan substituents are chosen such that their cumulative Hammett-sigma value is greater than about 0.23. These cyanoformazans are useful in analytical compositions and methods for either wet or dry assay of magnesium ions.
