Abstract Sixteen collaborators participated in the study of the determination of phosphorus in organic compounds. Two samples were analyzed by the methods currently in use in the collaborators’ respective laboratories. Samples were combusted by oxygen flask, peroxide fusion, and wet digestion with acid(s). The resulting phosphoric acid was determined either gravimetrically, colorimetrically by the heteropoly blue method, or colorimetrically by the molybdenum yellow method. The various combustion methods were not compared, since there were not enough data to warrant this. The determinative steps were compared, but the data showed no significant difference in either precision or accuracy for any variation. A statistical evaluation of the data showed that the overall mean for the colorimetric heteropoly blue determination of triphenylphosphine (11.81% P) for 4 collaborators is 11.72%; for the colorimetric molybdenum yellow determination for 5 collaborators, 11.70%; and for the gravimetric determination for 3 collaborators, 11.93%. For phenylmethylphosphinic acid (19.97% P), the corresponding values are 19.64, 19.80, and 19.95%.

Rhodium may be precipitated quantitatively with 2-mercaptobenzoxazole or 2-mercaptobenzothiazole. An acetic acid precipitating medium is preferred; slight variations in the concentration of acid, when nitric acid was used, caused low results. Several similar type organic compounds showed no advantages over the above two. The complex appears to have three molecular weights of the reagent combined with one atomic weight of rhodium.
