Chemical Transformations in Heterobimetallic Complexes Facilitated by the Second Coordination Sphere
Abstract
An auto titrator system was developed to accurately and precisely detect colorimetric endpoints for spectrochemical titrations. This system was constructed using inexpensive components such as a Raspberry Pi® single-board computer, 3D-printed components, and a commercially available spectral sensor. The auto titrator was evaluated by performing a standard method for determination of water hardness. Regardless of analyst experience, the auto titrator performed better than the traditional titration approach that involves manual dosing of titrant and visual detection of the endpoint. Inter-day, intra-day, inter-instrumental, and intra-instrumental validation studies were performed to establish the accuracy and precision of endpoint detection. The auto titrator eliminates the subjective bias in color perception and produces accurate and precise endpoint results.
