Salicylate-Selective PVC Membrane Electrodes Based on Tribenzyltin(IV) Phenolates as Neutral Carriers

ABSTRACT

A series of tribenzyltin(IV) phenolates were synthesized and used as anion ionophores for PVC membrane electrodes; these novel electrodes exhibit a linear response towards salicylate and an anti-Hofmeister selectivity pattern with high specificity for salicylate over many common anions. The results show that the behavior of the electrodes is considerably influenced by the structures of the carriers and the experimental conditions. Electrodes based on tribenzyltin(IV) p-nitrophenolate possess the best potentiometnc response characteristics and show a linear log[Sal^?] vs. EMF response over the concentration range 0.1–3.98×10^?6 mol.L^?1 in phosphate buffer solutions of pH 5.38 with a detection limit of 2.51×10^?6 mol.L^?1 and a slope of -57.05 mV per decade. The response mechanism was also investigated by use of a.c. impedance and anion transport across liquid membranes. The electrodes were applied to the determination of salicylate in urine samples with satisfactory results.

A conducting polymer was electrochemically prepared on a Pt electrode with newly synthesized 3′‐(4‐formyl‐3‐hydroxy‐1‐phenyl)‐5,2′ : 5′,2″‐terthiophene (FHPT) in a 0.1 M TBAP/CH₂Cl₂ solution. The polymer‐modified electrode exhibited a response to proton and metal ions, especially Al(III) ions. The poly[FHPT] was characterized with cyclic voltammetry, EQCM, and applied to the analysis of trace levels of Al(III) ions. Experimental parameters affecting the response of the poly[FHPT] were investigated and optimized. Other metal ions in low concentration did not interfere with the analysis of Al(III) ions in a buffer solution at pH 7.4. The response was linear over the concentration range of 5.0×10^?8–7.0×10^?10 M, and the detection limit was 5.0×10^?10 M using the linear sweep voltammetry (LSV). Employing the differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), the response was linear over the 1.0×10^?9–5.0×10^?11 M range and the detection limit was 3.0×10^?11 M. The relative standard deviation at 5.0×10^?11 M was 7.2% (n=5) in DPV. This analytical method was successfully verified for the analysis of trace amounts of Al(III) ions in a human urine sample.
