Improved Calcium Ion-Selective Electrode Based on a Neutral Carrier

Abstract

The performance of a liquid-membrane electrode using a synthetic, neutral carrier in o-nitro-phenyl-n-octyl-ether as membrane component in a PVC matrix, in the presence of sodium tetra-phenyl-borate, is described. Selectivities, working range, lifetime and anion interference are discussed. The electrode makes possible the measurement of calcium ion activities in the range 10^?1M to 10^?6M in unbuffered and in the range 10^?1M to 10^?8M in calcium buffered systems respectively. The selectivities of calcium over protons, magnesium, sodium and zinc are 25,000, 26,000, 2,800 and 7,100, respectively, and are far superior than those reported for other calcium sensors.     

Solvatochromic Solvent Polarity Measurements In Analytical Chemistry: Synthesiss And Applications Of Et-30

Abstract

The E_T(30) scale of solvent polarity has been shown to be useful in examining many diverse analytical processes. It is based on the charge transfer absorption of 2,6-diphenyl-4-(2,4,6-triphenyl-N-pyridinio)phenolate (referred to as ET-30 in this paper). Unfortunately, use of the E_T(30) scale has been hindered by (a) the lack of a commercial source of the ET-30 dye and (b) the lack of an English language synthetic procedure. Here we discuss recent applications of the E_T(30) scale to analytical techniques, as well as a simplified procedure for the synthesis of ET-30.

(Mesitylene)ruthenium π-complexes with benzo-15-crown-5 and dibenzo-18-crown-6

The reactions of benzo-15-crown-5 and dibenzo-18-crown-6 with 1 equiv. of [(mes)Ru(MeNO₂)₃]²⁺ (mes = 1,3,5-C₆H₃Me₃) give the mononuclear complexes [(mes)Ru(η⁶-benzo-15-crown-5)]²⁺ (1) and [(mes)Ru(η⁶-dibenzo-18-crown-6)]²⁺ (2) in 50% yield. Similar reaction with 2 equiv. of [(mes)Ru(MeNO₂)₃]²⁺ produces the dinuclear complex [(μ-η⁶:η⁶-dibenzo-18-crown-6)Ru₂(mes)₂]⁴⁺ (3) in 96% yield as a 2:3 mixture of cis- and trans-isomers. Structures of 2(OTf)₂ and trans-3(OTf)₄ were confirmed by X-ray diffraction. The NMR titration showed that mononuclear dications 1 and 2 bind Na⁺ ion less effective (K_a = 600 and 250 M^-1) than free benzo-15-crown-5 and dibenzo-18-crown-6 (K_a = 2 × 10⁵ and 5 × 10⁶ M⁻¹). The dinuclear tetracation 3 does not bind Na⁺ within measurable limits of NMR titration method. The electrochemical behaviour of complexes 1-3 was studied in propylene carbonate solution. They exhibit a partially chemically reversible Ru(II)/Ru(I) reduction, which in the case of the dinuclear complex 3 proceeds through two slightly separated steps. The redox activity of the complexes is substantially unaffected by the presence of sodium ion.     

Binary and Ternary Complexes Between Lauryl Hexaoxyethylene, Benzoate and Cyclodextrin. Part II. β-CD

The characterization of binary and ternary complexes of benzoate, lauryl hexaoxyethylene (C₁₂E₆) and -CD is presented. The complexation equilibrium was characterized by UV-Vis spectrophotometry, titration microcalorimetry, capillary electrophoresis, and 2D ROESY ¹H-NMR. Results suggested that -CD forms one complex with C₁₂E₆in the stoichiometric ratio of -CD : C₁₂E₆1.5 : 1, with a stability constant 1.3 × 10⁵ M^-1.5. The 2-D ROESY ¹H-NMR spectrum indicated that C₁₂E₆is included inside the -CD cavity. The primary binding site of C₁₂E₆ is on the lauryl subunit of this molecule. Analogous to a previously reported study of -CD, the combination of -CD and C₁₂E₆precipitated from the solution. Addition of benzoate seemed to dissolve the precipitate and nearly doubled the apparent stability constant of the complex. Results from the various techniques supported formation of ternary complexes between -CD, C₁₂E₆, and benzoate.

Quantitative determination of fucoidan using polyion-sensitive membrane electrodes

The use of polyanion and polycation-sensitive membrane electrodes to detect five different preparations of fucoidan is described. Unlike linear polyanionic molecules previously measured with polymer membrane-based electrochemical sensors, fucoidans from marine brown algae are all highly branched, sulfated polysaccharides with varying charge densities and structures, depending on the species of seaweed, method of extraction used and extent of purification. When tridodecylmethylammonium (TDMA) was used as the ion-exchanger, a large, non-equilibrium EMF response was observed over a concentration range of 0.5–50 μg mL⁻¹ fucoidan. Fucoidan was also measured by titration with polycationic protamine, using a dinonylnaphthalene sulfonate (DNNS)-doped membrane electrode as the potentiometric endpoint detector. Potentiometric titration was used to determine the binding ratio between protamine and fucoidan at the neutralization endpoint for each fucoidan preparation. This binding ratio was then used to successfully determine the fucoidan content of commercially available nutritional supplements. Fucoidan was also measured in undiluted blood serum, demonstrating that this method may be applicable for measuring fucoidan for clinical applications.
