The preparation and potentiometric pH response properties of membranes formulated with various aminated-poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-NH2) products are described. Products containing secondary and/or primary amino functional groups are obtained by modifying PVC with monoand/or diamines, respectively. Blank membranes prepared with either type of aminated-polymer exhibit nearly Nernstian potentiometr...

All-solid-state sensors with polyvinyl chloride (PVC)-based membranes using off-the-shelf N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) and succinimide (Succ) ionophores were prepared using DOP (dioctyl phthalate) and NPOE (ortho-nitrophenyloctyl ether) as plasticizers. Good responses were obtained when NHS was used. The potentiometric response of the proposed electrode is independent of pH over the range 2-6. Th...

2-amino-n-benzthioazolyl benzamide (abtb) was synthesized, characterized and used for thefabrication of a potentiometric sensor for cu2+ metal ions. the electrode exhibits linear response to cu(ii) over a wide concentration range (4.79×10 -8 – 1.85×10 -1 m) with nernstian slope of 30 ± 1.5 mvper decade. the electrode can be used in the ph range from 2 to 9. it has a fast response time of about1...

New ionophores are essential for advancing the art of selective ion sensing. Metal-organic supercontainers (MOSCs), a new family of biomimetic coordination capsules designed using sulfonylcalix[4]arenes as container precursors, are known for their tunable molecular recognition capabilities towards an array of guests. Herein, we demonstrate the use of MOSCs as a new class of size-selective ionop...

The introduction of low detection limit ion selective electrodes (ISEs) may well pave the way for the determination of trace targets of cationic compounds. This research focuses on the detection of titanium (III) cation using a new PVC-membrane sensor based on synthesized tris(2pyridyl) methylamine (tpm) ionophore. The application and validation of the proposed sensor was done using potentiomet...

a carbon paste electrode modified with cobalt (ii) phthalocyanine (copc) was used as a sensitive potentiometric sensor for determination of ascorbic acid in aqueous solutions. the potential response of the electrode is a linear function of ascorbic acid concentration over the range 5 10 to 10 m (?1- 1800 µg ml ) with a nernstian slope of 56 mv at ph 7. the limit of detection was 0.2 µg ml ascor...

a simple, precise, rapid and low-cost potentiometric method for diclofenac determination in pharmaceuticals is proposed. a new diclofenac-sensitive electrode was constructed by incorporating the diclofenac ion pair complex with butyl rhodamine b into graphite matrix. the electrode exhibited a linear response over the concentration range of 1 × 10-4 – 5 × 10-2 mol l-1, a detection limit of 3.9×1...
