The potentiometric behavior of polymer-supported metallophthalocyanines used as anion-selective electrodes.

Liquid polymer membrane electrodes based on nickel and manganese phthalocyanines were examined for use as anion-selective electrodes. The electrodes were prepared by incorporating the ionophores into plasticized poly(vinyl chloride) membranes, which were directly coated onto the surfaces of graphite electrodes. The resulting electrodes demonstrate near-Nernstian responses over a wide linear range of perchlorate anion (5 x 10(-7) to 1 x 10(-1) M). The electrodes have a fast response time, submicromolar detection limits (5 x 10(-7) M perchlorate), and could be used over a wide pH range of 3.5-10. The influences of lipophilic cationic and anionic additives on the response properties of the electrodes were investigated. The proposed sensors revealed high selectivity for perchlorate over a number of common inorganic and organic anions. The highest selectivity was observed for the electrode based on manganese phthalocyanine in the presence of the lipophilic anionic additive sodium tetrakis[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]borate. Application of the electrodes to determine perchlorate in tap water and human urine is also reported.[1]
