The absorbance value of the Ni(II)-APMT complex was measured at different intervals of time at 375 nm to ascertain the time stability of the com- plex. The extraction of the complex into the solvent was instantaneous and stable for more than 72 hrs. The system ob- eyed Beer’s law in the concentration range of 0.235 - 2.43 µg⋅ml–1 of nickel(II), with an excellent linearity and a cor- relation coefficient of 0.999. The molar absorptivity
