Abstract
A plasticized poly (vinyl chloride) membrane electrode based on 1,3-bis(2-cyanobenzene)triazene (CBT) for highly selective determination of platinum(II) (in PtCl 4 2− form) is developed. The electrode showed a good Nernstian response (29.8 ± 0.3 mV decade −1) over a wide concentration range (1.0 × 10 −6 to 1.0 × 10 −2 mol L −1). The limit of detection was 5.0 × 10 −7 mol L −1. The electrode has a response time of about 40 s, and it can be used for at least 1 month without observing any considerable deviation from Nernstian response. The proposed electrode revealed an excellent selectivity toward platinum(II) ion over a wide variety of alkali, alkaline earth, transition, and heavy metal ions, and it could be used in the pH range of 3.2–5.1. The practical utility of the electrode has been demonstrated by its use in determination of platinum ion in, alloy, tap, mineral and river water samples.
