Trace amount of Cd^II and Ni^II have been estimated quantitatively with 4-p-tolyl thiosemicarhazide (4-PTTSC) using amperometric
titration technique. The titrations have been performed at pH 6.0 ± 0.02, 1.1 = 0.1 M at RT. The ratio of metal/4-PTTSC Is found
to be 1 : 2 with L shaped curve. Reverse L shaped curve may be obtained on interchanging the position of' 4-PTTSC and metal
ion.
