Dual Sensitivity─Potentiometric and Fluorimetric─Ion-Selective Membranes.

ABSTRACT: Classical application of ion-selective membranes is limited to either electrochemical or optical experiments. Herein, the proposed ion-selective membrane system can be used in both modes; each of them offering competitive analytical parameters: high selectivity and linear dependence of the signal on logarithm of analyte concentration, high potential stability in potentiometric mode, or applicability for alkaline solutions in optical mode. Incorporation of analyte ions into the membrane results in potentiometric signals, as in a classical system. However, due to the presence of lipophilic positively charged ions, polymer backbones, full saturation of the membrane is prevented even for long contact time with solution. The presence of both positively charged and neutral forms of conducting polymers in the membrane results in high stability of potential readings in time. Optical signal generation is based on polythiophene particulates dispersed within the ion-selective membrane as the optical transducer. An increase of emission is observed with an increase of analyte contents in the sample.

Project description:Manganese(III) complexes of three fluorophilic salen derivatives were used to prepare ion-selective electrodes (ISEs) with ionophore-doped fluorous sensing membranes. Because of their extremely low polarity and polarizability, fluorous media are not only chemically very inert but also solvate potentially interfering ions poorly, resulting in a much improved discrimination of such ions. Indeed, the new ISEs exhibited selectivities for CO(3)(2-) that exceed those of previously reported ISEs based on nonfluorous membranes by several orders of magnitude. In particular, the interference from chloride and salicylate was reduced by 2 and 6 orders of magnitude, respectively. To achieve this, the selectivities of these ISEs were fine-tuned by addition of noncoordinating hydrophobic ions (i.e., ionic sites) into the sensing membranes. Stability constants of the anion-ionophore complexes were determined from the dependence of the potentiometric selectivities on the charge sign of the ionic sites and the molar ratio of ionic sites and the ionophore. For this purpose, a previously introduced fluorophilic tetraphenylborate and a novel fluorophilic cation with a bis(triphenylphosphoranylidene)ammonium group, (R(f6)(CH(2))(3))(3)PN(+)P(R(f6)(CH(2))(3))(3), were utilized (where R(f6) is C(6)F(13)). The optimum CO(3)(2-) selectivities were found for sensing membranes composed of anionic sites and ionophore in a 1:4 molar ratio, which results in the formation of 2:1 complexes with CO(3)(2-) with stability constants up to 4.1 × 10(15). As predicted by established theory, the site-to-ionophore ratios that provide optimum potentiometric selectivity depend on the stoichiometries of the complexes of both the primary and the interfering ions. However, the ionophores used in this study give examples of charges and stoichiometries previously neither explicitly predicted by theory nor shown by experiment. The exceptional selectivity of fluorous membranes doped with these carbonate ionophores suggests their use not only for potentiometric sensing but also for other types of sensors, such as the selective separation of carbonate from other anions and the sequestration of carbon dioxide.
