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...

Mixed association of calix[4]resorcinarene with ethyl sulfonate groups on the lower rim and dimethylaminomethyl groups on the upper rim (CR) and cationic surfactant 4-aza-1-hexadecyl-azoniabicyclo[2.2.2]octane bromide (DABCO-16) is studied by methods of tensiometry, conductometry, potentiometry and NMR spectroscopy at fixed CR concentration and varied surfactant concentration. Beyond ca. 0.4 mM...

The molecule of glutaroimidedioxime, a cyclic imidedioxime moiety that can form during the synthesis of the poly(amidoxime)sorbent and is reputedly responsible for the extraction of uranium from seawater. Complexation of manganese (II) with glutarimidedioxime in aqueous solutions was investigated with potentiometry, calorimetry, ESI-mass spectrometry, electrochemical measurements and quantum ch...

Flow injection potentiometry (FIP) for the enzymatic determination of cholesterol is reported. The assay utilises a combination of three enzymes: cholesterol esterase (CE), cholesterol oxidase (COD) and peroxidase (POD). The method is developed by the use of a tungsten wire electrode as a sensor vs. Ag/AgCl in conjunction with a redox mediator ferrocyanide. CE converts esterified cholesterol to...

The basis of potentiometry is the Nernst equation, which relates the concentration of electroactive species at the surface of an electrode (C) to the potential of that electrode (E); that is, for the reaction O + e = R where E is the formal redox potential of the electron transfer reaction. In a potentiometry experiment, the open-circuit potential (i.e., there is no measurable current through t...

The transfer of Ag+ ion across a polarized 1,6-dichlorohexane/water interface assisted by an alkene or olefin ligand, 1,5-cyclooctadiene (COD), was studied by cyclic voltammetry. Even if COD was absent from the organic phase, Ag+ ion gave a reversible voltammetric wave, and the formal potential of the non-assisted ion-transfer at the 1,6-dichlorohexane/water interface was determined from the re...

Three-dimensional topological insulators host surface states with linear dispersion, which manifest as a Dirac cone. Nanoscale transport measurements provide direct access to the transport properties of the Dirac cone in real space and allow the detailed investigation of charge carrier scattering. Here we use scanning tunnelling potentiometry to analyse the resistance of different kinds of defe...

in this work we introduce a practical use of synthesized schiff base metal complex in sensing application. a new perchlorate-selective electrode based on the complex n, n'-4-nitro-phenylmethanebis-(salicylaldiminato) copper (ii) [cul] as the membrane carrier was developed. the electrode exhibits a good  nernstian slope of -55.0 ± 1.0 mv/decade and a linear range of  for perchlorate. the limit o...
