Abstract

The lead ion sensitivity of a solid-supported BLM system containing TCNQ (7, 7, 8, 8-tetracy-anoquinodimethan) as an electron mediator in 4, 4′-n-octyl-cyanobiphenyl (8CB) dissolved in squalene, with a teflon coated platinum wire as a solid support, has been investigated with cyclic voltammetry. The results have shown that TCNQ in a cyanobiphenyl bilayer membrane produces a unique System that increases by three orders of magnitude the lead ion sensitivity of the platinum electrode. Cyclic voltammograms have also shown that a charge-transfer complex between liquid crystal and TCNQ molecules is created and participates in redox reactions.
