Selective electrodes for silver based on polymeric membranes containing cali.
Silver ion-selective electrodes were prepared with polymeric membranes based on two calix[4]arene derivatives functionalized by two hydroxy and two benzothiazolylthioethoxy groups. The electrodes all gave a good Nernstian response of 58mV decade(-1) for silver in the activity range 5 x 10(-6)-10(-1) M, the limits of detection reached 10(-5.8) M and exhibited high selectivity towards alkali, alkaline earth and some transition metal ions. The electrode was used as indicator electrode in titrations of Ag+ with Cl- ion.
