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...

The first examples of boronic acid-linked fluorescent and colorimetric chemosensors for copper ions are reported; the monoboronic acid-conjugated rhodamine probe displays a highly selective fluorescent enhancement with Cu2+ among the various metal ions whereas the fluorescence of the bisboronic acid-conjugated fluorescein probe is selectively quenched by Cu2+, probably by way of a PET mechanism.

a new al(iii) selective membrane based on 5-bromo(salicylidene-2-amino thiophenol) as a neutral carrier in a poly(vinyl chloride) (pvc) matrix is coated on platinum wire to determine trace amounts of al(iii) ion in various samples. the sensor exhibits a good response for al(iii) ion over a wide concentration range of 5.20 × 10-7 to 1.00 × 10-2 m  with nernstian slope of 19.64 ± 0.15 mv decade-1...

The use of nanomaterials, such as nanoparticles and nanotubes, for electrochemical detection of metal species has been investigated as a way of modifying electrodes by electrochemical stripping analysis. The present study develops a new methodology based on a comparative study of nanoparticles and nanotubes with differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry (DPASV) and examines the simultaneo...

tin(ii)-ion-selective electrode consisting of dibenzo-18-crown-6 (db18c6) as an ionophore inpvc matrix was developed. the influences of membrane composition, selectivity, response time,reversibility and temperature on the electrode performance were investigated. the electrodeshowed a near nernstian response for sn2+ ions over a concentration range from 1.0× 10-6 – 1.0× 10-2 m with a slope of 27...

in order to study the cu(ii) ion selective electrode, an optimized membrane was prepared by mixing of 30 mg of pvc powdered, 5 mg of considered ionophore, 60 mg of plasticizer and 5 mg of additive. the sensor showed a near nernstian response for cu(ii) ions over a concentration range from 1.0×0-6 –1.0×0-2 m with a slope of 28.90.5 mv per concentration decade with a working ph range of 3.5-6.3. ...

in order to preparing strontium ion selective electrode 6-(4- nitropheny1)-2-pheny14, 4- dipropy1-3, 5-diaza-bicyclo [3, 1, 0] hex-2-ene (npdbh) was used as an ionophore. this electrode responds to sr (ii)ion with a sensitivity of 28.2 ± 0.5 mv/decade over the range 1.0 x 10-6 to 1.0 mat ph 3.0-10.0. thelimit of detection was 2.4 x 10-7 m. the influences of membrane composition, the ph of the t...

There is evidence that binding of metal ions like Zn2+ and Cu2+ to amyloid beta-peptides (Abeta) may contribute to the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease. Cu2+ and Zn2+ form complexes with Abeta peptides in vitro; however, the published metal-binding affinities of Abeta vary in an enormously large range. We studied the interactions of Cu2+ and Zn2+ with monomeric Abeta(40) under different cond...
