sol-gel and polymeric membrane electrodes, based on thiacalix[4]arene as a neutral carrier, weresuccessfully developed for the detection of vo2+ in aqueous solutions. the sol-gel and pvcmembrane electrodes exhibited linear response with nernstian slopes of 29.3 and 28.4 mv perdecade, respectively, within the vanadyl ion concentration ranges from 1.0 × 10-6 to 1.0 × 10-1mol dm-3 and from 1.0 × 1...

Applying spectroelectrochemistry to all-solid-state electrodes composed of poly(3-octylthiophene) (POT) and an ultrathin ion-selective membrane on top, it is possible monitor the dynamic charge transfer (CT) in POT when this event coupled ion transfers (ITs) promoted by absence/presence a selective ionophore membrane. Herein, we report combination empirical theoretical evidence revealing that d...

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...

The nanoscale spacing between a tethered lipid bilayer membrane (tBLM) and its supporting gold electrode can be utilized to determine the polarity selectivity of the conduction of ion channels and ion carriers embedded in a membrane. The technique relies upon a bias voltage sequestering or eliminating ions, of a particular polarity, into or out of the aqueous electrolyte region between the gold...

a new cesium ion selective pvc membrane based on parent calix [4] arene was developed for potentiometric determination of cesium in environmental samples. the electrode based on p-5,11,17,23tetra(tertbutyl) 25,26,27,28-tetrahydroxy calix[4]arene(thc) as ionophor ,dibutyl phthalate (dbp)as plasticizer ,sodium tetra phenyl borate(natpb)and oleic acid as lipophilic salt and additive showed the bes...
