Yh. Yang et al., THE PREPARATION OF A DECYLIDENE BIS(4'-BENZO-15-CROWN-5) ETHER MEMBRANE RUBIDIUM(I) ELECTRODE, Microchemical journal, 55(3), 1997, pp. 348-350
A rubidium-selective electrode has been developed by coating a graphit
e rod with a PVC membrane containing decylidene bis(4'-benzo-15-crown-
5) ether, which is used as a neutral carrier. This electrode exhibited
a near Nernstian response to rubidium in the range 1.0 x 10(-1) to 5.
0 x 10(-5) mol/liter with a slope of 52 mV/pC. The detection limit was
2.0 x 10(-5) mol/liter. This decylidene bis(4'-benzo-15-crown-5) ethe
r is a new compound prepared by Sichuan University and has never been
used to prepare a rubidium electrode. (C) 1997 Academic Press.
