Abstract:

New salicylate-selective electrodes based on aluminum-(III) and tin(IV) salophens are described. The electrodes were prepared by incorporating the ionophores into plasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) membranes, which were directly coated on the surface of graphite electrodes. These novel electrodes display high selectivity for salicylate with respect to many common inorganic and organic anions. The influence of membrane composition and pH and the effect of lipophilic cationic and anionic additives on the response properties of the electrodes were investigated. The electrode based on aluminum salophen, with 32% PVC, 65.8% plasticizer, and 2.2% ionophore, shows the best potentiometric response characteristics and displays a linear log [Sal-] vs EMF response over the concentration range 1 x 10(-6) - 1 x 10(-1) M in phosphate buffer solutions of pH 7.0, with a Nernstian slope of -59.2 mV/decade of salicylate concentration. Highest selectivity was observed for the membrane incorporating 38.8% PVC, 57.3% plasticizer, 2.6% Sn(salophen), and 1.3% sodium tetraphenylborate. The electrodes exhibit fast response times and micromolar detection limits (approximately 1 x 10(-6) M salicylate) and could be used over a wide pH range of 3-8. Applications of the electrodes for determination of salicylate in pharmaceutical preparations and biological samples are reported.
