Organopalladium(II) Complexes as Ionophores for Thiocyanate Ion-Selective Electrodes

A thiocyanate poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) membrane electrode based on [1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane]dihalopalladium(II), [(dppe)PdX2, X = Cl (L), X = I (L)] as active sensor has been developed. The diiodopalladium complex, [(dppe)PdI2](L) displays an anti-Hofmeister selectivity sequence: SCN‒ > I‒ > ClO4‒ > Sal‒ > Br‒ > NO2‒ > HPO4‒ > AcO‒ > NO3‒ > H2PO4‒ > CO32‒. The electrode exhibits a Ne...

Applications of Ion Selective Electrodes

Enzyme sensor for organophosphorus insecticides organophosphorus hydrolase in a polymer membrane on a pH sensor is used to catalyse the hydrolysis of compounds with phoshate ester functionality. The detected [H+] change is proportional to the concentration of the phosphate ester insecticide. This is a good example of the use of an enzyme to give selectivity to a specific class of compounds. Unf...

Opportunities and Challenges of using Ion-Selective Electrodes in Environmental Monitoring and Wearable Sensors

Great opportunities exist for Ion-Selective Electrodes (ISEs) in the fields of environmental monitoring and of wearable applications for example as the sensing part in wireless networks. In this review special attention is given to the recent results obtained with Solid Contact IonSelective Electrodes and Solid Contact Reference Electrodes. Their combination as disposable sensing platform may o...

Ion selective electrodes in environmental analysis

An overview is given dealing with the application of ion-selective electrodes (ISEs) in environmental analysis. ISEs are placed into the context of the trend of development of sensors for extensive and frequent monitoring. Discussed are the issues such as sensing platforms and their mass-production, improvement of precision, diagnostic of sensor functionality, and development of reference elect...
