Abstract

The potentiometric response characteristics of electrodes based on organic trialkyl/aryl-tin compounds combined with various amounts of anionic additive (NaTFPB) were investigated in 0.1 M bis-Tris–H 2SO 4 buffer solution at pH 7.0. The best result for phosphate sensing was obtained for the electrode membrane containing tributyltin chloride and 25 mol% NaTFPB, where the electrode exhibits high selectivity towards phosphate anions with a slope of −60 mV per decade. It was demonstrated that the interference from more lipophilic anions is drastically suppressed ( log K ij pot , i=H 2PO 4 −: salicylate, 0.5; SCN −, −0.8; ClO 4 −, −2.3) under this optimized measurement conditions.
