Abstract
Abstract A very sensitive, highly selective and reversible optical chemical sensor (optode) for mercury ion is described. The sensor is based on the interaction of Hg2+ with 2-mercapto-2-thiazoline (MTZ) in plasticized PVC membrane incorporating a proton-selective chromoionophore (ETH5294) and lipophilic anionic sites (sodium tetraphenylborate, NaTPB). The membranes were cast onto glass substrates and used for the determination of mercury ion in aqueous solutions by batch and flow-through methods. The sensor could be used in the range 2.0 × 10−10 to 1.5 × 10−5 M (0.04 ng mL−1 to 3 μg mL−1) Hg2+ with a detection limit of 5.0 × 10−11 M and a response time of
