| Abstract: | Electromotive Behaviour of Liquid-membrane Electrode Assemblies Based on Enantiomer-selective Chiral Ionophores A comprehensive theoretical treatment is given for the potentiometric behavior of enantiomer-selective membrane electrodes based on chiral ionophores and plasticizers. The membrane model allows for free and complexed enantiomeric or racemic ions (e.g. ephedronium and l-phenylethylammonium ions) as well as for achiral interfering ions. Experiments are derived for the determination of the stoichiometry and the relative stability of enantiomeric ion/enantiomeric ligand complexes, and for the analytical measurement of the enantiomeric excess of ions in solution. |
