Ion-selective electrode studies on novel organic molecule sensors
Abstract
Researches on prospects for novel ion-selective electrodes, based on organic molecule sensors, are described. The organic molecules are large crown ethers extending from bis(metaphenylene)-26-crown-8 to bis(metaphenylene)-38-crown-12, small crown ethers, bis-crown ethers, and acyclic polyethers consisting of diphenyl ethers of tetraethylene glycol and receptor molecules of planar and tetrahedral tripodal types.
