A surface renewable iridium oxide-glass composite hydrogen ion electrode

A robust and surface renewable iridium oxide-based pH glass composite electrode was prepared by modifying glass matrix with iridium oxide particles. Fine glass powder coated with iridium oxide was prepared by pyrolyzing ammonium hexachloroiridate-coated glass powder under oxygen atmosphere. First the glass powder was molded into a disk, by using a press, then was sintered in high temperature, and was finally fabricated. The electrode showed linear response between pH 1 and 13 with close slopes to the theoretical value, − 59.2 mV/pH. The electrode showed low hysteresis upon sudden changes of pH from 2 to 6, but in extreme conditions, from pH 13 to 1, it showed values near 16 mV. The electrode maintained the pH response for 36 days, without a significant slope drift, in various storage conditions — deionized water, a pH 7 buffer solution, 4 M KCl, and even in the air. Most of the cations and anions, except electrochemically active compounds or ions, did not interfere with the electrodes seriously. The electrode surface can be renewed reproducibly, by a simple grinding process whenever it becomes fouled or deactivated. The electrode matrix was durable and showed extended lifetime although it was ground repeatedly with 2000 grit SiC emery paper for surface renewal.     

Calcium ion selective membrane electrode

The calcium salts of the mono- and diesters of [4-(1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl)phenyl phosphoric acid] have been prepared, and the individual esters as well as mixtures of the esters have been used with several varieties of polyvinyl chloride to construct macro membrane electrodes selective to calcium ions. These electrodes have been calibrated by using solutions of CaCl₂ and Ca ion buffers. The mixed ester electrodes showed Nernstian response in the concentration range 10^-1 to 10^-7M; the diester electrodes showed Nernstian response down to 7.9 x 10^-8M. The detection limit of the mixed ester electrode was 10^-8M, whereas that of the diester electrode was 7.9 x 10^-9M. Contrary to these results, the monoester electrodes showed unsatisfactory behavior. The responses of both the mixed ester and diester electrodes to calcium ions were not affected by the presence of sodium, potassium, or other divalent ions. Only ferric and lanthanum ions showed interferences with the electrode response to calcium ions. p]The electrode response was independent of pH in the approximate range 5–8 at a CaCl₂ concentration of 10^-4M. As the Ca ion concentration was increased, the range of pH independence widened to approximately 4–8. The dynamic response time constant of the mixed ester electrode was in the range 0.7–1.5 sec, whereas that of the diester electrode was in the range 0.5–0.75 sec.     

A study of the reaction kinetics of electrogenerated superoxide ion with benzylbromide

The reaction kinetics between O₂^? and C₆H₅CH₂Br has been investigated in N,N′-dimethylformamide by electroanalytical techniques. A mechanism is proposed in which two molecules of the primary electrode product regenerate, via a following chemical reaction, one molecule of the original electroactive species. Furthermore, evidence for a S_N2 reaction mechanism between O₂^? and C₆H₅CH₂Br has been obtained. Second order rate constants resulted to be 11000 M^?1s^?1 and 3000 M^?1s^?1at room temperature and 0°C, respectively. The main products of the reaction were found to be benzylalcohol, benzaldehyde, benzene and biphenyl.

A PVC-based 1,8-diaminonaphthalen electrode for selective determination of vanadyl ion

A PVC membrane vanadyl (VO²⁺) ion-selective electrode was constructed using 1,8-diaminonaphthalen (DAN) as a neutral carrier. The electrode shows good Nernstian response for VO²⁺ ions over a wide concentration range (1.0×10⁻¹-1.0×10⁻⁵ M). The optimum composition of the membrane was 55 wt.% poly(vinylchloride), 35 wt.% 2-nitrophenyl octyl ether (NPOE), 5 wt.% ionophore, and 5 wt.% potassium tetrakis(p-chlorophenyl)borate (KTpClPB). It has relatively fast response time and can be used at least for 5 weeks without any considerable divergence in potentials. The proposed electrode revealed relatively good selectivity for VO²⁺ over wide variety of other metal ions. The electrode was used for the potentiometric titration of VO²⁺ ions with EDTA.     

Conducting polymer ion sensor electrodes-III. Potentiometric sulfide ion selective electrode

A new potentiometric sensor electrode for sulfide based on conducting polymer films is introduced. The electrode is formed by electrochemically depositing a film of poly(3-methylthiophene) and poly(dibenzo-18-crown-6) onto an alloy substrate. Different methods were used for the electrode preparations. The alloy used has a low melting point, which allowed its use for manufacturing a microsize version of this electrode. The electrode response is stable for 3 days. The working temperature range for this electrode is between 10 and 40 degrees C. The linear dynamic range is 1.0x10(-7)-1.0x10(-2) M and measures total sulfide concentration over a range of pH from 1 to 13. The polymer electrode showed high selectivity for sulfide in the presence of many common interfering anions. The electrode is useful for the measurement of total sulfide in biological environments and can be manufactured in the micron scale. Therefore, it will be useful for the measurement within biofilms.

Trace fluoride determination with specific ion electrode

A method is described for determining 10^-5–10^-4M fluoride in a variety of solutions potentiometrically with a fluoridc-specific electrode, by a standard addition method. Any change of ionic strength or the nature of the solution that might alter activity coefficients or junction potentials is minimized. The relationship between potential and fluoride concentration thus follows the Nernst equation, and the unknown concentration can be calculated. Experimental data are given for solutions of sodium choride, sodium nitrate, acidified sodium silicate and sodium hydroxide, lithium chloride, and phosphoric acid. Metal ions (e.g., Al³⁺, UO₂²⁺, Fe³⁺, Th⁴⁺) that interfere by forming complexes with fluoride can be precomplexed with phosphoric acid. The relative error is estimated at 10%, and the relative standard deviation is less than 5% over the concentration range 10^-5–10^-4M fluoride.     

Carbonate ion electrode based on HTPP sites

Several quaternary phosphonium salts have been used as the site materials for construction of carbonate ion electrodes.

The selectivity order of ions can be altered by the introduction of trifluoroacetyl-tert-butylbenzene as a solvent mediator. The strong solvatoin of the primary ion of interest in the membrane phase by the solvent mediator favors the improvement of the selectivity of the proposed electrode.

On the reaction of superoxide ion with organochloric compounds

Superoxide ions were generated by the action of γ-radiation on water-alcohol solutions saturated with oxygen. The reaction of superoxide ions with sodium 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetate and pentachlorophenol was studied. The reaction of O₂ ^?? with chloroaromatic compounds results in elimination of chloride ions and formation of phenyl radicals active in elimination of hydrogen atoms. The rate constant of the reaction between O₂ ^?? and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetate was calculated using the method of mathematical simulation.     

Electron transfer reactions between the superoxide ion and quinones

The electron transfer reactions of the superoxide ion with benzoquinone, trimethylbenzoquinone, and menadione in dimethylformamide were studied. A procedure of the determination of the relative rate constants of these reactions was developed; the reaction of O? ₂ with butyl bromide was chosen as a standard one. The relative rate constants measured at 20,°, 35°, and 50°C were slightly dependent on the quinone structure. The relationship between the free energy ΔF*of the electron transfer reactions and the standard free energy ΔF^o was discussed. This relationship is proposed as ΔF* = αΔF^o + β, where the proportionality coefficient α is equal to 0.04–0.11 for exothermal reactions and to 0.90–0.96 for endothermal reactions.
