In this work, a highly selective membrane triiodide sensor based on a new charge‐transfer complex of bis(2,4‐dimethoxybenzaldehyde)butane‐2,3‐dihydrazone with iodine (Iodide Charge Transfer complex: ICT) as membrane carrier is introduced. The influences of five different solvent mediators on sensitivity and selectivity of the proposed sensor were considered. The best performance was obtained with the membrane composition containing 30% poly (vinyl chloride), 63% DBP, 5% ICT and 2% HTAB. The electrode shows a Nernstian behavior over a very wide triiodide ion concentration range (1.0 × 10^?7‐1.0 × 10^?2 M), and a detection limit value of 8.0 × 10^?8 M. The effect of pH on the potentiometric response of the sensor was also studied, and it was found that the response of the electrode is independent of the pH of the solution in the pH range of 4.0–10. The proposed sensor has a very fast response time (< 12 s), and good selectivities relative to a wide variety of common inorganic and organic anions, including iodide, acetate, bromide, chloride, fluoride, nitrite, nitrate, sulfite, sulfate, cyanide and thiocyanate. In fact the selectivity behavior of the proposed triiodide ion‐selective electrode shows great improvements compared to the previously reported electrodes for triiodide ion. The proposed membrane sensor can be used for at least 6 months without any divergence in the potentials. The electrode was successfully applied as an indicator electrode in the titration of triiodide with thiosulfate ion.

Abstract

A highly selective and sensitive triiodide sensor based on a 2‐(((2‐(((E)‐1‐(2‐hydroxy phenyl) methylidine) amino) phenyl) imino) methyl) phenol with iodine (CTC) as membrane carrier was developed. The electrode revealed a Nernstian behavior over a very wide triiodide‐ion concentration range (5.0×10^?8–1.0×10^?2 M), and relatively low detection limit (3.0×10^?8 M). The potentiometric response is independent of the pH of solution in the pH range of 3.0–10.0. The electrodes manifest advantages of low resistance, very fast response (<12 s), and most importantly, good selectivities relative to a wide variety of inorganic and organic anions, including iodide, bromide, chloride, fluoride, sulfite, sulfate, cyanide, thiocyanate, and acetate. In fact, the selectivity behavior of the proposed triiodide ion‐selective electrode shows great improvements compared to the previously reported electrodes for the triiodide ion. The proposed membrane sensor can be used for at least 6 months without any significant divergences in the potential. The electrode was successfully applied as an indicator electrode in the titration of triiodide with thiosulfate ion.

Three recently synthesized Schiff's bases were studied to characterize their ability as Cr³⁺ ion carrier in PVC‐membrane electrodes. The polymeric membrane (PME) and coated glassy carbon (CGCE) electrodes based on 2‐hydroxybenzaldehyde‐O,O′‐(1,2‐dioxetane‐1,2‐diyl) oxime (L1) exhibited Nernstian responses for Cr³⁺ ion over wide concentration ranges (1.5×10^?6–8.0×10^?3 M for PME and 4.0×10^?7–3.0×10^?3 M for CGCE) and very low limits of detection (1.0×10^?6 M for PME and 2.0×10^?7 M for CGCE). The proposed potentiometric sensors manifest advantages of relatively fast response and, most importantly, good selectivities relative to a wide variety of other cations. The selectivity behavior of the proposed Cr³⁺ ion‐selective electrodes revealed a considerable improvement compared to the best previously PVC‐membrane electrodes for chromium(III) ion. The potentiometric responses of the electrodes are independent of pH of the test solution in the pH range 3.0–6.0. The electrodes were successfully applied to determine chromium(III) in water samples.     

A Highly Selective and Sensitive Barium(II)‐Selective PVC Membrane Based on Dimethyl 1‐Acetyl‐8‐oxo‐2,8‐dihydro‐ 1H‐pyra‐zolo[5,1‐a]isoindole‐2,3‐dicarboxylate

A poly(vinyl chloride)‐based membrane of dimethyl 1‐acetyl‐8‐oxo‐2,8‐dihydro‐1H‐pyra‐zolo[5,1‐a]isoindole‐2,3‐dicarboxylate as a neutral carrier with sodium tetraphenylborate (NaTPB) as an anion excluder and 2‐nitrophenyl octyl ether (NPOE) as plasticizer was prepared and investigated as a Ba(II)‐selective electrode.

Polar,functionalized diene‐based materials. V. Free‐radical polymerization of 2‐[(N‐benzyl‐n‐methylamino)methyl]‐1,3‐butadiene and copolymerization with styrene

2‐[(N‐Benzyl‐N‐methylamino)methyl]‐1,3‐butadiene (BMAMBD), the first asymmetric tertiary amino‐containing diene‐based monomer, was synthesized by sulfone chemistry and a nickel‐catalyzed Grignard coupling reaction in high purity and good yield. The bulk and solution free‐radical polymerizations of this monomer were studied. Traditional bulk free‐radical polymerization kinetics were observed, giving polymers with 〈M_n〉 values of 21 × 10³ to 48 × 10³ g/mol (where M_n is the number‐average molecular weight) and polydispersity indices near 1.5. In solution polymerization, polymers with higher molecular weights were obtained in cyclohexane than in tetrahydrofuran (THF) because of the higher chain transfer to the solvent. The chain‐transfer constants calculated for cyclohexane and THF were 1.97 × 10^?3 and 5.77 × 10^?3, respectively. To further tailor polymer properties, we also completed copolymerization studies with styrene. Kinetic studies showed that BMAMBD incorporated into the polymer chain at a faster rate than styrene. With the Mayo–Lewis equation, the monomer reactivity ratios of BMAMBD and styrene at 75 °C were determined to be 2.6 ± 0.3 and 0.28 ± 0.02, respectively. Altering the composition of BMAMBD in the copolymer from 17 to 93% caused the glass‐transition temperature of the resulting copolymer to decrease from 64 to ?7 °C. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Three different recently synthesized aza‐thioether crowns containing a 1,10‐phenanthroline sub‐unit (L1–L3) and a corresponding acyclic ligand (L4) were studied to characterize their abilities as silver ion ionophores in PVC‐membrane electrodes. Novel conventional silver‐selective electrodes with internal reference solution (CONISE) and coated graphite‐solid contact electrodes (SCISE) were prepared based on one of the 15‐membered crowns containing two donating S atoms and two phenanthroline‐N atoms (L1). The electrodes reveal a Nernstian behavior over wide Ag⁺ ion concentration ranges (1.0×10^?5?1.0×10^?1 M for CONISE and 5.0×10^?8?4.0×10^?2 M for SCISE) and very low limits of detection (8.0×10^?6 M for CONISE and 3.0×10^?8 M for SCISE). The potentiometric response is independent from pH of the solution in the pH range 3.0–8.0. The electrodes manifest advantages of low resistance, very fast response and, most importantly, good selectivities relative to a wide variety of other cations. The electrodes can be used for at least 2 months (for CONISE) and 4 months for (SCISE) without any appreciable divergence in potentials. The electrodes were used as an indicator electrode in the potentiometric titration of Ag⁺ ion and in the determination of silver in photographic emulsions and in radiographic and photographic films.

Seven electrodes out of the fabricated 12 electrodes, gave best results in terms of working concentration range (1.0×10^?5?1.0×10^?1 M) with a close to Nernstian slope of 18.5 and a Nernstian slope of 20.0 mV/decade of activity. The usable pH range of the sensors is 4.0–7.0. The detection limit of the selected electrodes is ≤1.0×10^?7 M. The response time of the sensors is 8–35 s, depending on the concentration of Cr³⁺ used. The selectivity coefficient values indicate that the electrodes are highly selective for Cr³⁺ over a number of other cations except Pb²⁺ and Na⁺ (for some electrodes). The electrodes have successfully been used to determine Cr³⁺ in certified and real alloys and in effluents of electroplating shops with a precision as relative standard deviation (RSD)<3%, for each of the proposed Cr³⁺‐ion selective electrodes. The results obtained by the proposed ISEs are in good agreement with the results obtained by direct flame AAS method.

Electrochemical Behavior of the Li+/Li Couple and Stability of Lithium Deposits in Tri‐1‐Butylmethylammonium Bis((Trifluoromethyl)Sulfonyl)Imide Room Temperature Ionic Liquid

The electrochemical behavior of the Li⁺/Li couple was studied at polycrystalline tungsten, platinum, copper and aluminum electrodes in tri‐1‐butylmethylammonium bis((trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl)imide ionic liquid mixed with a little propylene carbonate at 30 °C. Lithium cations were introduced into the ionic liquid by dissolution of lithium bis((trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl)imide which is highly soluble in ionic liquid. Propylene carbonate was used to reduce the viscosity of this ionic liquid in order to enhance the mass transfer and to additionally improve the stability of lithium deposits. At the tungsten and copper electrodes, the cyclic voltammetric behavior of a Li⁺/Li couple is a quasi‐reversible reaction. At the platinum electrode, the behavior becomes very complicated because of the alloy formation. Coulombic efficiency was used to evaluate the stability of lithium deposits at each electrode. The aluminum electrode showed the best efficiency due to the formation of Li‐Al alloy. However, lowest efficiency was obtained at the platinum electrode because of the low redox reversibility of the lithium in the Li‐Pt alloy. The diffusion coefficient of lithium cation in this solution was 1.0 ± 0.1 × 10^?;7 cm² s^?;1 as determined by chronopotentiometry. The best coulombic efficiency obtained at the Al electrode is 97% but dropped to about 90% after 12 hours. The self‐discharge current of the lithium deposits at the Al electrode was 0.4 μA/cm² during the experimental period.     

Electrochemical Behaviors of Adenosine‐5′‐triphosphate on Molecular Wire Modified Carbon Paste Electrode and Its Sensitive Detection

A new electrochemical method was proposed for the determination of adenosine‐5′‐triphosphate (ATP) based on the electrooxidation at a molecular wire (MW) modified carbon paste electrode (CPE), which was fabricated with diphenylacetylene (DPA) as the binder. A single well‐defined irreversible oxidation peak of ATP appeared on MW‐CPE with adsorption‐controlled process and enhanced electrochemical response in a pH 3.0 Britton‐Robinson buffer solution, which was due to the presence of high conductive DPA in the electrode. The electrochemical parameters of ATP were calculated with the electron transfer coefficient (α) as 0.54, the electron transfer number (n) as 1.9, the apparent heterogeneous electron transfer rate constant (k_s) as 2.67 × 10^?5 s^?1 and the surface coverage (Γ_T) as 4.15 × 10^?10 mol cm^?2. Under the selected conditions the oxidation peak current was proportional to ATP concentration in the range from 1.0 × 10^?7 mol L^?1 to 2.0 × 10^?3 mol L^?1 with the detection limit as 1.28 × 10^?8 mol L^?1 (3σ) by sensitive differential pulse voltammetry. The proposed method showed good selectivity without the interferences of coexisting substances and was successful applied to the ATP injection samples detection.

The use of the two calix[4]arenes results in anion‐selective electrodes with a selectivity for phosphate. The electrodes of the optimum characteristic have the composition of 1 wt% ionophore, 66 wt% o‐NPOE, 33 wt% poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC) and TDMACl (15 or 30 mol% relative to the ionophore 1 and 2 , respectively). The optimized membrane electrodes show Nernstian responses towards monohydrogen phosphate (?29.1 and ?29.3 mV/decade) based on ionophore 1 and 2 , respectively, in a wide concentration range (1.0×10^?5 to 1.0×10^?2 or 1.0×10^?5 to 1.0×10^?1 M). The selectivity coefficients are determined with the fixed interference method and the activity ratio method. The electrodes display an anti‐Hofmeister series selectivity pattern and highly selective for HPO₄^2? over Cl^?, Br^?, CH₃COO^?, NO₃^? and SO₄^2?. The lifetime of the electrodes is at least 1 month and their response time is found to be 25 s. The proposed sensors could be put to analytical use both by direct potentiometry as well as potentiometric titration.
