Potentiometric SCN- selectivity of polymer membranes with fixed organotin compounds
Novel polymer liquid membrane electrodes, in which the organotin compounds were fixed, were obtained by the reaction of PVC (poly(vinyl chloride)) with di-n-butyltin halide hydrides ((Bu2SnYH)-Bu-n, Y = F, Cl, I, OMe). The improved liquid membrane electrodes displayed good potential stability and non-Hofmeister selectivity patterns. Furthermore, the highest degree of selectivity for the SCN- ion was achieved.
