The spectral correction matrix has been established to study the simultaneous complextions between metals and a ligand, and it eliminated the mutual influence among the complexes. The two sensitive reations between iron(Ⅱ) and 1-(6-bromo-2-benzothiazolylazo)-2-naphthol(BBTAN) and zinc (Ⅱ) and BBTAN have been investigated and applied to the simultaneous determination of Zn and Fe at pH 8.5 in the presence of triton x-100. This method gave the simples determination of the characteristic constants of the complexes. For the analysis of natural water, foods and other samoles, the recoveries of Fe and Zn were between 92 and 109% and between 91 and 104%, and their relative standard deviations were less than 5.5 and 11%, respectively.
