    Author: Singh LP, Bhatnagar JM.
    Journal: Talanta; 2004 Oct 08; 64(2):313-9. PubMed ID: 18969605.
    Abstract:
    Plasticized membranes using Schiff Base complexes, derived from 2,3-diaminopyridine and o-vanilin have been prepared and explored as Cu(2+)-selective sensors. Effect of various plasticizers viz., dibutyl phthalate (DBP), dioctylphthalate (DOP), chloronaphthalene (CN), tri-n-butylphosphate (TBP) etc. and anion excluder, sodium tetraphenylborate (NaTPB) was studied in detail and improved performance was observed at several instances. Optimum performance was observed with Schiff Base (B) having a membrane composition of B(1%):PVC(33%):DOP(65%):NaTPB(1%). The sensor works satisfactorily in the concentration range 5.0x10(-6) to 1.0x10(-1)M (detection limit 0.3ppm) with a Nernstian slope of 29.6mV per decade of activity. Wide pH range (1.9-5.2), fast response time (<30s), high non-aqueous tolerance (up to 20%) and adequate shelf life (>4 months) indicate the vital utility of the proposed sensor. The potentiometric selectivity coefficient values as determined by match potential method (MPM) indicate good response for Cu(2+) in presence of interfering ions. The tolerance level of Hg(2+), which causes serious interference in the determination of Cu(2+) ions (K(Cu(2+)Hg(2+))(Pot)(MPM): 0.45), was determined as a function of Cu(2+) concentration in simulated mixtures. The sensor was also used in the potentiometric titration of Cu(2+) with EDTA.
