title: Photocontrol of ion-sensor performances in neutral-carrier-type ion sensors based on liquid-crystalline membranes.
abstract: Neutral-carrier-type ion-selective electrodes based on liquid-crystalline ion-sensing membranes containing an azobenzene derivative as the photosensitive chromophore show remarkable changes in their ion selectivity on photoirradiation, which is induced by the phase transition of the membranes.
