Bis(crown ether)-based ion-selective electrodes for sodium and potassium are described, based on the bis[(12-crown-4)-2-ylmethyl]-2-dodecyl-2-methyl malonate sensor(I) for sodium and the bis[(benzo-15-crown-5)-15-ylmethyl] pimelate sensor(II) for potassium. The best results were obtained when the sensors were used in association with 2-nitrophenyl octyl ether as plasticising solvent mediator and potassium tetrakis(4-chlorophenyl)borate as anion excluder in poly(vinyl chloride) matrices. Electrode slopes were near-Nernstian, with detection limits of less than 10(-5) M. The electrode features are compared with those of a sodium glass membrane electrode, for sensor I, and with a valinomycin-based potassium electrode, for sensor II. The electrodes are also discussed in relation to others reported for sensors I and II and are shown to be superior. However, although the electrodes described offer promising alternatives to glass electrodes for sodium and valinomycin electrodes for potassium, data for sodium and potassium measurements in blood serum indicate a need for further research in order to improve the correlation with flame photometric measurements.
