Schiff bases, resacetophenone imines [RPT] ligand was synthesized by using Tris (Hydroxymethyl) methylamine (TRIS) and resacetophenone and has not been used so far for the determination of Lead and Tellurium in trace quantities. Effect of pH on wave height for Pb–[RPT] and Te–[RPT] systems have been studied at pH 6.5–11.0 in 0.1 M NaNO3, and 0.002 % Triton–X–100 which increases the stability of the complex. Effects of Ligand concentrations, height of mercury column, metal ion concentrations on Lead and Tellurium on wave height at pH 10.0 have been studied. The author also investigates metal–ligand ratio and stability constants of Tellurium–RPT by reversible system.
