The potentiometric response properties and applications of a tetra-coordinate nickel(II) complex with relatively high selectivity toward nitrate ion are described. The nickel(II) complex of 5,7,12,14-tetramethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradeca-4,6,11,13-tetraene was used as a neutral carrier into plasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) membrane.

The electrode shows improved selectivity in comparison to most of the previously reported nitrate-selective electrodes. It was successfully applied to the determination of nitrate ion in natural water samples.

A comparative study of chromium(III) ion-selective electrodes based on N,N-bis(salicylidene)-o-phenylenediaminatechromium(III)

A comparative study was made between three types of Cr(III) ion-selective electrodes: PVC membrane electrode, silver coated electrode and modified carbon paste electrode based on N,N-bis(salicylidene)-o-phenylenediaminatechromium(III) complex (Crsalophen). As anticipated, electrodes with a solid contact, rather than a traditional liquid inner contact, give lower detection limits because of diminished ion fluxes. Often, however, ill-defined solid contact gives rise to instabilities and interferences by oxygen gas. The carbon paste electrode provides a more sensitive and stable device than that afforded by PVC and coated electrodes. The best performance was obtained by an electrode based on the paste containing 3.5 wt% Cr-complex, 48.5% graphite plasticized with a mixture of 24.0 wt% tris(2-ethylhexyl) phosphate (DOPh) + 24.0 wt% dioctyl sebacate (DOS). The sensor has a linear dynamic range of 7.5 × 10^-6 to 1.0 × 10^-2 M, with a Nernstian slope of 20.1 ± 0.6 mV decade^-1, and a detection limit of 1.8 × 10^-6. It has a short response time of a bout 8 s and is applicable in a pH range of 4.5-7.7. It was successfully used as an indicator electrode in potentiometric titration of Cr(III) with EDTA and in determination of Cr(III) in water samples and chromium in (Crsalophen).     

Ion-Selective Electrode for the Determination of Furaltadone

ABSTRACT

A Furaltadone (FD) ion-selective PVC membrane electrode based on the ion-pair complex of FD with sodium tetraphenylborate was prepared with dioctyl phthalate as a plasticiser. The electrode exhibits a linear response with an approximate Nernstian slope (50 mV decade^?1 at 20 ⁰C) with the concentration range 2.18 x 10^?5–2.18 x 10^?4 FD. The effects of ionic strength and pH of the test solution on the electrode performance were studied. The electrode exhibited very good selectivity for FD with respect to a large number of inorganic and organic cations of biological importance. The standard addition method and potentiometric titration were used to determine the FD in pure solution and in pharmaceutical preparations with satisfactory results.     

Batch and flow measurement of hydrogen ions in highly acidic media using 2-(4-methoxy phenyl) 6-(4-nitrophenyl)-4-phenyl-1,3-diazabicyclo [3.1.0] hex-3-ene as an H-selective ionophore

A hydrogen ion-selective poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) membrane electrode was developed using 2-(4-methoxy phenyl) 6-(4-nitrophenyl)-4-phenyl-1,3-diazabicyclo [3.1.0] hex-3-ene as ionophore. Effects of experimental parameters such as membrane composition, nature and amount of plasticizer, and the amount of additive on the potential response of pH sensor were investigated. This H⁺-selective membrane electrode gave a linear response over the pH range 0-4 (10⁻⁴ to 1 mol L⁻¹ HCl) with slope of 57.4 ± 0.3 mV pH⁻¹ and limit of detection 6.3 × 10⁻⁵ mol L⁻¹ at 20 °C. Also, hydrofluoric acid did not influence the surface of this electrode and thus it was maintained without showing any changes in potentials after being used in a hydrofluoric acid solution. The equilibrium water content of the electrode was determined in the presence of two different plasticizers as membrane solvent. The alkaline cation binding affinity of ionophore was very low that prove these cations do not have specific interaction with this ionophore. The electrode had fairly low electrical resistance, good potential stability and reproducibility. It has a rapid potential response to changes of pH (10 s), easily used in a single channel wall-jet flow injection system with good reproducibility (RSD% = 1.67%) and high reversibility. It was used as indicator electrode in potentiometric determination of pH in real samples.     

Organic-inorganic composite cation-exchanger: poly-o-toluidine Zr(IV) phosphate-based ion-selective membrane electrode for the potentiometric determination of mercury

A new heterogeneous precipitate of an organic-inorganic composite cation-exchanger poly-o-toluidine Zr(IV) phosphate was utilized for the preparation of a Hg(II) ion-sensitive membrane electrode for the determination of Hg(II) ions in real aqueous as well as in real samples. The electrode showed good potentiometric response characteristics, and displayed a linear log[Hg(2+)] versus EMF response over a wide concentration range of 1 x 10(-1) - 1 x 10(-6) M with a Nernstian slope of 30 mV per decade change in concentration with a detection limit of 1 x 10(-6). The membrane electrode showed a very fast response time of 5 s and could be operated well in the pH range 2 - 8. The selectivity coefficients were determined by the mixed-solution method, and revealed that the electrode was selective in the presence of interfering cations; however most of these did not show significant interference in the concentration range of 1 x 10(-1) - 1 x 10(-4) M. The lifetime of the membrane electrode was observed to be 120 days. The analytical utility of this electrode was established by employing it as an indicator electrode in the potentiometric titrations of Hg(2+) ions from a synthetic mixture as well as drain water.

Determination of lead ions using an diantipyrylmethane-based electrode

The possibility of using diantipyrylmethane as an ionophore component of a lead-selective electrode membrane was assessed. Membrane composition (wt %) was optimized: polyvinyl chloride (31.89), dioctyl sebacate (63.81), diantipyrylmethane (2.50), and oleic acid (1.80). The proposed model of the electrode works in the concentration range of 1 × 10^–5–0.1 M with a detection limit of 2 mg/L. A slope of the electrode function of the diantipyrylmethane-based electrode is 29.4 ± 0.5 mV/pPb. Concentration of Pb(II) ions in various samples was determined.     

Potentiometric Determination of Sibutramine Using Batch and Flow Injection Analysis

Sibutramine (SBT⁺) ion-selective electrode (ISE) was constructed using poly(vinyl chloride) matrix membrane containing sibutramine–phosphotungstate (SBT–PTA) plasticized with dioctyl phthalate. The electrode exhibits Nernstian response of 59.54 mV/ concentration decade over the concentration range 1.0 × 10^?5 to 1.0 × 10^?2 M and detection limit of 7.94 × 10^?6 M. The electrode was fully characterized in terms of its composition, response time, life span, pH, selectivity, and temperature and was then applied to the potentiometric determination of SBT in its pure bulk and pharmaceutical formulations under batch and flow injection conditions and for the in vitro testing of the dissolution profile of SBT capsules.     

Ion-selective electrode for the determination of prenalterol

A new prenalterol (Pr) ion-selective PVC membrane electrode based on the ion-pair complex of Pr with sodium tetraphenylborate was prepared and its performance characteristics were studied. The electrode exhibited a linear response with a good Nernstian slope over a relatively wide range of concentration. The electrode whose membrane was made of 8.0% (w/w) of ion pair, 49.5% (w/w) of dioctyl phthalate (DOP) and 43.5% (w/w) of PVC showed characteristics higher than those obtained with the other ones, namely, slope of 56.3 mV per concentration decade, at 25 °C; usable concentration range 1.2×10⁻⁵–3.2×10⁻² M prenalterol; response time ≤20 s. Up to 24 h continuous soaking, the calibration graph slope was constant at 56.0 mV per concentration decade, at 25 °C, then it decreased gradually as the time of soaking increases reaching 41 mV per decade after 11 days. The changes in pH did not affect the electrode performance within the range 2.2–7.5. The standard electrode potentials were determined at different temperatures and used to calculate the isothermal coefficient of the electrode. The electrode showed very good selectivity for Pr with respect to a large number of inorganic and organic cations. The standard addition method and potentiometric titration were used to determine Pr in pure solutions and in pharmaceutical formulations. The relative standard deviations (R.S.D.) of the three methods used for the determination of prenalterol in pharmaceutical formulations were 0.8, 2.1 and 1.9% of the extrapolation, standard addition and potentiometric methods, respectively.     

X‐Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy and Electron Microscopy of Hydralazinium Ion‐Selective Electrode Membrane's Surface

New hydralazinium (Hz) plastic membrane electrodes of either conventional or coated‐wire type were constructed based on incorporation of Hz‐phosphotungstate (Hz‐PT) ion associate or Hz‐reineckate (Hz‐Rn) ion‐pair in poly(vinyl chloride) membranes. The (Hz‐PT)‐based electrodes required 30 minutes conditioning time to exhibit nearly Nernstian response over the concentration range 1.58×10^?5–1.7×10^?2 M HzCl. They also showed life span of 17 days, working pH range of 3.2 to 9.4 and high selectivity for Hz towards Na⁺, K⁺, Mg²⁺ and Ca²⁺. The electrodes have not lost their efficiency at temperatures elevated up to 60 °C. They were successfully employed to assaying HzCl in a pharmaceutical preparation. The electrode containing (Hz‐Rn) ion‐pair required 30 minutes conditioning time to show response for Hz over the concentration range 2.5×10^?5–5.6×10^?2 M. The life span of the electrode was only 8 h. X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy was applied to investigate the effect of prolonged soaking on the membrane's surface of both types of electrodes. The surfaces of fresh and expired membranes containing Hz‐PT were also examined by electron microscopy. The results indicated that the limitation of the life span of plastic membrane electrodes is attributed to leaching of the ion exchanger from the membrane to the test solution in addition to deformation at the surface of the expired electrode.     

Anion selective polymeric membrane electrodes based on cyclopalladated amine complexes

The potentiometric anion selectivity of two polymer membrane based electrodes (I and II) formulated with two new cyclopalladated amine complexes as the active components are examined. The electrodes exhibit a non-Hofmeister selectivity pattern with a significantly enhanced response towards thiocyanate, iodide and nitrite. The graph potential versus log c is linear over the concentration range 10(-6)-6x10(-2) M thiocyanate with electrode I and 10(-6)-10(-3) M with electrode II; 10(-5)-10(-2) M iodide with electrode I and 10(-3)-6x10(-2) M with electrode II; and 10(-3)-6x10(-2) M nitrite with both electrodes. The influence of the plasticizer and pH are studied. The potentiometric selectivity coefficients for I, II and blank membrane electrodes are reported. The selective interaction between Pd(II) thiocyanate, iodide and nitrite is postulated to be the reason for its higher response.     

Hydrogen ion-selective membrane electrodes based on alkyldibenzylamines as neutral carriers

New synthetic hydrogen ion-selective carriers, derivatives of dibenzylamine, have been used as neutral carriers in liquid membrane electrodes to measure pH range from 2 to 10. A H(+)-selective membrane electrode based on octyldibenzylamine gave a better linear response to pH than other alkyldibenzylamines as neutral carriers. It gave a linear response over the pH range 2-10 and a slope of 56.5 mV/pH at 20 degrees C. The electrode had fairly low electrical resistance, good potential stability and reproducibility. The selectivity coefficients towards sodium, potassium and calcium ions as well as other characteristics of the membrane electrode have been studied.     

Solid-contact pH-selective electrode using multi-walled carbon nanotubes

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) are shown to be efficient transducers of the ionic-to-electronic current. This enables the development of a new solid-contact pH-selective electrode that is based on the deposition of a 35-μm thick layer of MWCNT between the acrylic ion-selective membrane and the glassy carbon rod used as the electrical conductor. The ion-selective membrane was prepared by incorporating tridodecylamine as the ionophore, potassium tetrakis[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]borate as the lipophilic additive in a polymerized methylmethacrylate and an n-butyl acrylate matrix. The potentiometric response shows Nernstian behaviour and a linear dynamic range between 2.89 and 9.90 pH values. The response time for this electrode was less than 10 s throughout the whole working range. The electrode shows a high selectivity towards interfering ions. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and chronopotentiometry techniques were used to characterise the electrochemical behaviour and the stability of the carbon-nanotube-based ion-selective electrodes.

A novel salicylate-selective electrode based on an organotin complex with a salicylal Schiff base of amino acid salicylaldehydeaminoacid-di-n-butyl-Sn(IV) [Sn(IV)-SAADB] as ionophore is described, which exhibits high selectivity for salicylate over many other common anions with an anti-Hofmeister selectivity sequence: Sal- > PhCOO- > SCN- > Cl04- > I- > NO3- > NO2- > Br- > Cl- > CH3COO-. The electrode, based on Sn(IV)-SAADB, with a 30.44 wt% PVC, a 65.45 wt% plasticizer (dioctyl phthalate, DOP), a 3.81 wt% ionophore and a 0.3 wt% anionic additive is linear in 6.0 x 10(-6) - 1.0 x 10(-1) mol l(-1) with a detection limit of 2.0 x 10(-6) mol l(-1) and a slope of 62.0 +/- 1.2 mV/decade of salicylate concentration in a phosphate buffer solution of pH 5.5 at 25 degrees C. The influence on the electrode performances by lipophilic charged additives was studied, and the possible response mechanism was investigated by UV spectra. The electrode was applied to medicine analysis and the result obtained has been satisfactory.

Tetrakis(4-N,N-dimethylaminobenzene)porphyrinato]manganese(III) acetate as a novel carrier for a selective iodide PVC membrane electrode.

[5,10,15,20-Tetrakis(4-N,N-dimethylaminobenzene)porphyrinato]Mn(III) acetate (MnTDPAc) was applied as an ionophore for an iodide-selective PVC membrane electrode. The influences of the membrane composition, pH of the test solution and foreign ions on the electrode performance were investigated. The sensor exhibited not only excellent selectivity to iodide ion compared to Cl- and lipophilic anions such as ClO4- and salicylate, but also a Nernstian response with a slope of -59.4 +/- 1.2 mV per decade for iodide ions over a wide concentration range from 1.0 x 10(-2) to 7.5 x 10(-6) M at 25 degrees C. The potentiometric response was independent of the pH of the solution in the pH range of 2 - 8. The electrode could be used for at least 2 months without any considerable divergence in the potential. Good selectivity for iodide ion, a very short response time, simple preparation and relatively long-term stability were the silent characteristics of this electrode. It was successfully used as an indicator electrode in the potentiometric titration of iodide ions, and also in the determination of iodide from seawater samples and drug formulations.
