title: Selective optical sensing of silver ions in drinking water.
abstract: A new thiocarbamate derivative is used in polymeric sensing films together with a lipophilic chromoionophore for determining Ag+ at submicromolar levels. The membrane composition has been optimized with a view to measuring concentrations of Ag+ added as a bacteriostatic agent to drinking water. The results compare well with those obtained by ICPMS.
