PVC-membrane potentiometric sensors based on a recently synthesized Schiff base for Fe(III) ion

Abstract

ABSTRACT. A potentiometric iron sensor based on the use 3-(2-diethylamino-ethylimino)-1,3-dihydro-indol-2-one (DEDIO) as an ionophore in poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) matrix, is reported. The plasticized membrane sensor exhibits a Nernstian response for Fe(III) ions over a wide concentration range (2.0 × 10 -6 -5.0 × 10 -2 M) with a super Nernstian slope of 26(±1) mV per decade. It has a fast response time of <12 s and can be used for ten weeks without any considerable divergences in its potentials .the electrode can be used in the pH range 4.5-8.0. The proposed sensor shows fairly good discriminating ability towards Fe(III) ion in comparison with a large number of alkali, alkaline earth, transition and heavy metal ions. The sensor was used as indicator electrode in potentiometric titration of Fe(III) ions vs. EDTA.

A simple and facile colorimetric chemosensor for selective detection of Cu2+ ion in aqueous solution

“…Consequently, a large number of papers involving colorimetric chemosensor [18][19][20][21][22][23], fluorescent chemosensor [24][25][26][27][28][29] and other techniques [30][31][32][33][34][35] have been published for metal ion detection. In recent themed issue series of Chemical Society Reviews on sensor targets and imaging agents also confined an exciting mix of reviews focusing on small organic or transition metal receptors.…”

Synthesis, characterization and crystal structures of oxovanadium(V) complexes derived from similar aroylhydrazone ligands

“…Schiff bases are a kind of interesting ligands in coordination chemistry [10][11][12][13][14][15]. In recent years, a number of vanadium complexes with Schiff bases derived from salicylaldehyde and primary amines have been reported [16][17][18][19][20].…”
