Hydrazinecarbothioamide derivative based ligands 2,2′-(((ethane-1,2-diylbis-(oxy))bis(3-methoxy-4,1-phenylene))bis-(methanylylidene))bis(hydrazinecarbothioamide) (L1), 2,2′-(((propane-1,3-diylbis(oxy))bis(3-methoxy-4,1-phenylene))bis-(methanylylidene))bis-(hydraznecarbothioamide) (L2) and 2,2′-((((oxybis(ethane-2,1-diyl))bis(oxy))bis(3-methoxy-4,1-phenylene))bis(methanylylidene))bis(hydrazinecarbothioamide) (L3) were synthesized and investigated as monitoring probe for Co2+ ion. Fabricated coated graphite electrode (CGE) and coated pyrolytic graphite electrode (CPGE) were prepared and CPGE explored the best performance with optimized membrane composition L2: PVC: 1-CN: KTpClPB ≡ 6:35:56:3 (w/w, mg). CPGE showed low detection limit of 6.1 × 10−9 mol L−1, Nernstian compliance (29.4 ± 0.6 mV decade−1 of activity), wide working pH range (3.0–8.5) and fast response time (7 s). The sensor is practically applicable in real samples and used as an indicator electrode in the potentiometric titration of Co2+ ion with EDTA.
Schiff base ligands 2,2 -(((ethane-1,2-diylbis(oxy))bis(2,1-phenylene))bis(methanylylidene))bis(hydrazinecarbothioamide) (L 1 ), 2,2 -(((propane-1,3-diylbis(oxy))bis(2,1-phenylene))bis(methanylylidene))bis(hydrazinecarbothioamide) (L 2 ) and 2,2 -((((oxybis(ethane-2,1-diyl))bis(oxy))bis(2,1-phenylene))bis(methanylylidene))bis(hydrazinecarbothioamide) (L 3 ) have been synthesized and were explored as ion carrier in the construction of solid contact Zn 2+ PVC based membrane sensor. The effect of plasticizers, benzylacetate (BA), dioctylphthalate (DOP), dibutylphthalate (DBP), 1-chloronaphthlene (1-CN) and o-nitrophenyloctylether (o-NPOE) and anion excluders, sodium tetraphenylborate (NaTPB) and potassium tetrakis-p-(chlorophenyl)borate (KTpClPB) on the performance of the electrodes has also been investigated. Comparative studies performed on coated graphite electrode (CGE) and coated pyrolytic graphite electrode (CPGE) reveal the superiority of CPGE with optimized membrane composition of L 2 : PVC: DOP: NaTBP≡6:34:58:2 (w/w, mg) exhibits the best results with a wide working concentration range of 1.1 × 10 −8 -1.0 × 10 −1 mol L −1 , detection limit of 8.0 × 10 −9 mol L −1 , Nernstian slope of 29.6 ± 0.2 mV decade −1 of activity of Zn 2+ ion in the pH range of 3.0-9.0. The sensor showed fast response time of 10 s and could be used over a period of 4 months without any significant divergence in slope, working concentration range and detection limit. The sensor was employed in the quantification of Zn 2+ ion in various samples and also as an indicator electrode in the potentiometric titration of Zn 2+ ion with EDTA.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
