Abstract: | The synthesis of a new compound, amide‐linked manganese diporphyrin xanthene (Mn2Cl2ADPX), and its application for preparation of thiocyanate selective electrodes was described. The electrode was prepared with a PVC membrane combining Mn2Cl2ADPX as an electro active material, 2‐nitrophenyl octyl ether (o‐NPOE) as a plasticizer in the percentage ratio of 3 : 65 : 32 (Mn2Cl2ADPX: o‐NPOE: PVC, w : w : w). The electrode exhibited linear response within the concentration range of 2.4×10?6 to 1.0×10?1 M SCN?, with a working pH range from 3.0 to 8.0 and a fast response time of less than 60 s. Several electroactive materials and solvent mediators have been compared and the experimental conditions were optimized. The Mn2Cl2ADPX based electrode shows obviously better response characteristics than that of monoporphyrin manganese in terms of working concentration range and slope. Selectivity coefficients for SCN? relative to a number of interfering ions were investigated. The electrode exhibits anti‐Hofmeister selectivity toward SCN? with respect to common coexisting anions. The electrode was applied to the determination of SCN? in body urine with satisfactory results. |
