Comparison of the selectivity of propeller crowns in poly(vinyl chloride) membrane ion-selective electrodes

Abstract

The selectivity of poly(vinyl chloride) membrane ion-selective electrodes containing propeller crowns for K+ or Rb+ over Na+ has been measured. Propeller crowns with six oxygen donors are selective for K+ over Na+ by a factor of 10–2–10–3; those with seven oxygen donors are selective for Rb+ over Na+. The trends in selectivity are correlated with propeller mobility, as assessed by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopic methods, and with ability to transport cations in three-phase systems.
