A PVC membrane Ni(II) ion selective electrode has been constructed using (1E,2E)-bis(2-aminophenyl)N'1,N'2-dihydroxyethanebis as membrane carrier. The electrode exhibited a goodpotentiometric response for Ni(II) over a wide concentration range 1.0×10-4 to 1.0×10-1M with aslope of 29.4±0.5 mV/decade a and a working pH range of 6.5-9.0. It had a fast response time of≤20s. The best performance was...

A new plastic membrane ion-selective electrode for determination of metformin hydrochloride has been prepared, after forming the ion pair of metformin hydrochloride with sodium tetraphenylborate. Dioctyl phthalate and sodium tetraphenylborate were used as plasticizer and counter ion respectively. The electrode exhibited a linear potential response in the concentration range 1 × 10 M–1 × 10 M wi...

A cobalt(II) derivative was used as a suitable ionophore for the preparation of a polymeric membrane nitrite-selective electrode. The electrode reveals a Nemstian behavior over a very wide NO2- ion concentration range (1.0 x 10(-6)-1.0 x 10(-1) M) and a very low detection limit (5.0 x 10(-7) M). The potentiometric response is independent of the pH of solution in the pH range 4.0-9.5. The electr...

A nanocomposite membrane Cu2+ ion-selective electrode has been constructed using a new compound ethyl 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-4-(4-methoxyphenyl)-6-methyl-2-oxopyrimidine-5-carboxylat (ETMOC) as a neutral ionophore. The electrode works properly. It responds to Cu2+ ion with a sensitivity of 29.5 ± 0.2 mV/decade over the range 1.0 × 10−9 to 5.0 × 10−1M at p...
