Abstract

A new sensing material, Pt(II)-5-(4-carboxyphenyl)-10,15,20-tris(4-phenoxyphenyl)-porphyrin (Pt(II)-COOH-TPOPP), was synthesized and characterized. Polymeric membranes containing the porphyrin and three different plasticizers were used as an electroactive material for a new anion-selective sensor. The best composition of the membrane was the one plasticized with dioctylsebacate (DOS), the obtained sensor being citrate-selective in a linear range of 5 × 10−7–1 × 10−1 M citrate. The slope was Nernstian (19.73 mV/decade) with good selectivity towards a number of interfering anions and a lifetime of five weeks.
