Ag. Li et al., THE SYNTHESIS OF BIS(BENZO-15-CROWN-5) DERIVATIVES AND THEIR USE IN POTASSIUM PVC MEMBRANE ELECTRODES, Journal of inclusion phenomena and molecular recognition in chemistry, 15(4), 1993, pp. 317-327
Five new bis(benzo-15-crown-5) derivatives with different connecting g
roups were synthesized. Potassium ion-selective PVC membrane electrode
s based on these bis(crown ether)s were prepared and their selective p
roperties were measured. The results showed that most of these electro
des are stable over a wide pH range and their selectivity coefficients
were better than those of an electrode based on natural valinomycin.
