Mf. Mousavi et al., A new PVC-based 1,10-dibenzyl-1,10-diaza-18-crown-6 selective electrode for detecting nickel(II) ion, SENS ACTU-B, 66(1-3), 2000, pp. 98-100
A PVC membrane nickel(II) ion-selective electrode was constructed using 1,1
0-dibenzyl-1,10-diaza-18-crown-6 (DBzDA18C6) as a neutral carrier. The sens
or exhibits a Nernstian response for Ni(II) ions over a wide concentration
range (5.5 x 10(-3)-2.0 x 10(-5) M). It has a relatively fast response, tim
e and can be used for at least 6 weeks without any considerable divergence
in potentials. The proposed sensor revealed relatively good selectivity for
Ni(II) over a wide variety of other metal ions, and could be used in a pH
range of 4.0-8.0. It was used as an indicator electrode in potentiometric t
itration of nickel ions. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved
