“…Based on our previous experiences on the use of benzo-substituted macrocyclic diamides in the preparation of highly selective potentiometric sensors [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19], in this work, we used a recently synthesized thia-containing dibenzopyridino macrocyclic diamide 1,15-diaza-3,4,12,13-dibenzo-5,11-dithia-8-oxa-1,15-(2,6-pyrido)cyclooctadecan-2,14-dione (L, Scheme 1) with an 18-member ring cavity for the preparation of novel polymeric membrane (PME), coated graphite (CGE) and coated silver wire electrodes (CWE) for highly selective and sensitive determination of Cd 2+ ion. The CGE was also used as a proper detection system in flow-injection potentiometry (FIP) of cadmium.…”
