Abstract
According to a solution study which showed a selective complexation between N,N′-bis(methylsalicylidene)-2-aminobenzylamine (MSAB) and gadolinium ions, MSAB was used as a sensing element in construction of a gadolinium(III) ion selective electrode. Acetophenon (AP) was used as solvent mediator and sodium tetraphenyl borate (NaTPB) as an anion excluder. The electrode showed a good selectivity towards Gd(III) ions over a wide variety of cations tested. The constructed sensor displayed a Nernstian behavior (19.7±0.3mV/decade) in the concentration range of 1.0×10−6 to 1.0×10−2molL−1 with detection limit of 5.0×10−7molL−1 and a short response time (<10s). The working pH range of the electrode was 3.5–10.1 and lifetime of the sensor was at least 10weeks. Analysis of certified reference materials confirmed the accuracy of the proposed sensor. The electrode was successfully applied as an indicator electrode in gadolinium titration with EDTA.
