Hi Mike, good to hear from you! I'll do some digging and see if I have anything more on your compound. Somewhere around here I've even got an old pre-1991 edition of Jolly too - it's been a standard text for I don't know how long.
One of our General Chem II labs is "Colorimetric Determination of Iron", in which the students take a sample containing an unknown amount of iron(III), reduce it to iron(II) with hydroxylamine, and add excess o-phenanthroline to form the dark-red product. This absorbs very strongly at 510 nm, which they measure with a Spec 20, and with a Beer's Law plot they then determine the amount of iron in their sample. This is a good experiment except that the o-phenanthroline is costly.
L8R!
