Application of Tetra Cyclohexyl Tin(IV) as an Anionic Carrier for the Construction of a New Salicylate Membrane Sensor

A new tin complex namely tetracyclohexyl tin(IV) (TCHT) was synthesized and used as the ion carrier for the construction of a highly selective salicylate sensor. This sensor shows a Nernstian response to salicylate ions over a very wide concentration (1.0 × 10^?7–1.0 × 10^?1 M) in a pH range of 5.5–10.5. The optimum selectivity and response could be obtained for a membrane incorporating 30% PVC, 61% BA, 3% of cationic additive (HTAB) and 6% of TCHT. The response time of the electrode is very short in the whole concentration range (15 s). The electrode also shows an excellent discriminating ability for salicylate ions with respect to the most common organic and inorganic anions including chloride, sulfate, nitrate, nitrite, cyanide, sulfite, iodide, thiocyanate, phosphate, acetate, oxalate, citrate, and tartarate ions. The detection limit of the proposed sensor is 8.0 × 10^?8 M. The electrode was successfully used for determining the concentration of salicylate ion in synthetic serums.     

Photo-cured polymers in ion-selective electrode membranes : Part 3. A Potassium Electrode for Flow Injection Analysis

The preparation of a potassium-selective electrode based on a photo-cured polymer membrane containing valinomycin is reported. This electrode has similar response characteristics to one based on PVC with the same neutral carrier. It is suitable for use in flow-injection systems because of its fast initial response and the hardness and mechanical strength of the membrane; nearly Nernstian response is obtained in the range 10^?1?10^?4 M potassium ion.     

Flow-through pH-ISFET as detector in the determination of ammonia

A simple flow-injection metod for the determination of ammonium ions in water, based on a flow-through pH-ISFET, is described. Ammonium is converted to ammonia, which diffuses through a microporous hydrophic membrane into an ammonium chloride recipient stream, forming a pH buffer which is monitored by the semiconductor detector. The linear working range extends from 0.1 to 10 mmol l^?1 with a relative standard deviation of ca. 1% at the 0.7 mmol l^?1 level.     

Preconcentration of copper(II) on immobilized 8-quinolinol in a flow-injection system with an ion-selective electrode detector

A column containing 8-quinolinol, immobilized on porous glass, is used for preconcentration and medium exchange in a flow-injection system with a copper ion-selective electrode detector. The metal ions are bound to the chelating ion exchanger while the anions and inert sample components pass to waste without contacting the electrode. Acid is then injected to elute the ions into a neutralizing buffer passing the electrode. Matrix effects are thus reduced because all measurements are made in the same buffer. The detection limits are 10^?7 and 3 × 10^?8 M copper(II) for sample volumes of 5 and 25 ml, respectively. The maximum throughput is 12 and 5 samples h^?1 for the two stated injection volumes.

Potentiometric flow-injection determination of copper-complexing organic ligands with a copper-wire indicating electrode

The potentiometric response of a copper-wire indicator electrode in a flow-injection system with a phosphate-buffered carrier stream can be used to determine copper-complexing ligands; glycine, histidine, L-cysteine, EDTA, ethylenediamine, triethylenetetramine, dopamine and imidazole are discussed. The electrode response is shown to give peak potentials with a Nernstian relationship to total injected ligand concentration over limited ranges, depending on the stoichiometry, stability, and oxidation state of the copper complexes formed. Galvanostatic measurements showed that complex formation with Cu²⁺ or Cu⁺ or mixed species can be responsible for the response characteristics. The effects of adding 0.1 M sodium chloride to the carrier stream are generally beneficial, particularly in obtaining sharper responses. Detection limits can be improved to about 10^?5 M by adding about 10^?5 M Cu²⁺ to the carrier stream, but the linear range of Nernstian response is then narrow.

Homooxacalix[3]arene Derivatives as Ionophores for Serotonin‐Selective Membrane Electrodes

Homooxacalix[3]arene derivatives are effective ionophores for constructing serotonin‐selective membrane electrodes. An electrode based on one of the derivatives, tris(methoxyphenylpropyloxy)hexahomooxacalix[3]arene‐triethyl ether, with potassium tetrakis(p‐chlorophenyl)borate (20 mol% relative to the ionophore) as an ionic additive and bis(2‐ethylhexyl) sebacate as a solvent mediator in a poly(vinyl chloride) membrane matrix, displayed much better selectivity for serotonin than for various organic ammonium ions and inorganic cations. The electrode exhibited a near‐Nernstian response to serotonin in the concentration range of 2×10^?4 to 1×10^?2 M with a slope of 56.4 mV per concentration decade in physiological saline containing 150 mM NaCl and 10 mM Na₂HPO₄/NaH₂PO₄ (pH 7.4). The limit of the detection was 8×10^?5 M. The selectivity pattern of this electrode was quite different from that of an electrode using calix[6]arene‐hexaacetic acid hexaethyl ester, a well‐known ionophore for primary organic ammonium ions, which did not induce an enhanced response to serotonin. The developed electrode was used for the active loading of serotonin in liposomes induced by transmembrane pH gradients.
