A Polymeric Membrane Electrode Based on p-tert-butyl- thiacalix[4]arene Derivative for Thorium Determination

چکیده
The aim of this study was to construct and characterize an ion selective electrode for the potentiometric determination of thorium ions. On hand study we introduced a new calixarene molecule p-tert-butyl-thiacalix[4]arene derivative as ionophore for thorium(IV) selective polymeric membrane electrode. Due to the decisive role of solvent mediators, we fabricated membranes with the plasticizers DBP, DBBP, TEP, OA, DOP, 1-CN respectively and anionic additive NaTPB. The best of the results were obtained with the membrane electrode composition of DBP:PVC:Ionophore:NaTPB (57%:35%:6%:2%). Electrode sensor shows excellent discrimination towards Th ion in presence of other common cations. The resulting data clarified that the electrode shows a Nernstian slope of 14.9±0.6 mV per decade for Th(IV) ions over a broad working concentration range of 8.0×10 to 1.0×10 mol/L. Our electrode gives the potential response in 7 sec for whole concentration range and this sensor can be used for seven months. Electrode has been successfully applied for many environmental and biological samples of thorium (IV) and as an indicator in potentiometric titration.

متن کاملDevelopment of glucose amperometric biosensor based on a novel attractive enzyme immobilization matrix: amino derivative of thiacalix[4]arene.
Calixarenes and their derivatives may be a promising material for enzyme immobilization owing to their particular configuration, unique molecule recognition function and aggregation properties. In this paper, p-tert-butylthiacalix[4]arene tetra-amine (TC4TA) was first used as enzyme immobilization material. This attractive material was exploited for the mild immobilization of glucose oxidase (G...

Surface organic ligands are critical for the formation and properties of atomically precise metal nanoclusters. In contrast to the conventionally used protective ligands such as thiolates and phosphines, thiacalix[4]arene has been used in the synthesis of a silver nanocluster, [Ag35(H2L)2(L)(C≡CBu(t))16](SbF6)3, (H4L, p-tert-butylthiacalix[4]-arene). This is the first structurally determined ca...
متن کاملInstructions for use Title
A photoresponsive ion carrier based on calix[4]arene was synthesized for the control of Na+ flux across lipid bilayer membranes by visible light. Calix[4]arene was chosen as a basic skeleton of a photoresponsive ion carrier because its ether derivatives are known to act as Na+ ion carriers in lipid bilayer membranes. For the synthesis of a photoresponsive carrier, dimethylaminoazobenzene was in...
