Abstract
New epinephrine (EP), dopamine (DA), and L‐Dopa (LD) ion selective PVC membrane electrodes based on ion‐pairs of catecholamines with tetraphenylborate (TPhB) are prepared. In the present work, plastic membrane selective electrodes have been constructed. They are based on the incorporation of EP‐TPhB, DA‐TPhB, or LD‐TPhB ion exchangers in poly(vinylchloride) (PVC) membranes plasticized with di(2‐ethylhexyl)sebacate (DES). The electrodes show a near – Nernstian response in the concentration ranges: 1.0×10−4—1.0×10−2 mol/L (epinephrine), 5.0×10−5–1.0×10−2 mol/L (dopamine), and 5.0×10−4–1.0×10−2 mol/L (L‐Dopa). The electrodes selective for epinephrine and L‐Dopa are used as detectors in the flow injection system. The proposed methods allow determination of catecholamines in pharmaceutical preparations.
