    Abstract:
    A new potentiometric transducer for selective recognition of azide is characterized and developed. The PVC plasticized based sensor incorporates Mn(II) [2-formylquinoline thiosemicarbazone] complex in the presence of tri dodecyl methyl ammonium chloride (TDMAC) as a lipophilic cationic additive. The sensor displayed a near-Nernstian response for azide over 1.0×10(-2)-1.0×10(-5) mol L(-1), with an anionic slope of -55.8±0.6 mV decade(-1) and lower limit of detection 0.34 µg mL(-1). The sensor was pH independent in the range 5.5-9 and presented good selectivity features towards several inorganic anions, and it is easily used in a flow injection system and compared with a tubular detector. The intrinsic characteristics of the detector in a low dispersion manifold were determined and compared with data obtained under a hydrodynamic mode of operation. This simple and inexpensive automation, with a good potentiometric detector, enabled the analysis of ~33 samples h(-1) without requiring pre-treatment procedures. The proposed method is also applied to the analysis of trace levels of azide in primer mixtures. Significantly improved accuracy, precision, response time, stability and selectivity were offered by these simple and cost-effective potentiometric sensor compared with other standard techniques. The method has the requisite accuracy, sensitivity and precision to determine azide ions.
