Key words:  beta-correction principle, noble metal, o-sulfobenzeneazo rodanine (SBAR)

The updated operation for the determination of properties of metal complexes was devised. As an example the reactions were studied between the three noble matals (NM): Ag(I), Au(III) and Pt(IV) and o-sulfobenzeneazo rhodanine (SBAR) in acidic solution. The b-correction method was used to establish the equation for the determination of properties of NM complex solutions instead of the ordinary spectrophotometry because it was able to eliminate the interference of the excess of the ligand in the reaction system. The metal to ligand ratios, the stepwise real molar absorptivity (e) and stepwise or cumulative stability constant (K) of NM-SBAR complexes are presented in this paper. The recommended method is more acceptable in theory and simpler in execution than the classical method.
