Abstract
AbstractPreliminary studies on the two Schiff bases N2‐((3H‐indol‐3‐yl)methylene)‐6‐phenyl‐1,3,5‐triazine‐2,4‐diamine (L1) and N2,N4‐bis((3H‐indol‐3‐yl)methylene)‐6‐phenyl‐1,3,5‐triazine‐2,4‐diamine (L2) have shown that they can act as Sm3+ selective electrodes. The performances of a polymeric membrane electrode and a coated graphite electrode based on L2 were compared and the CGE proved to be better, as it shows a low detection limit of 1.8×10−8 mol L−1, a Nernstian slope of 19.6±0.4 mV decade−1 of activity with a response time of 11 s in the pH range of 3.0–9.0. The CGE was used to determine Sm3+ in medicinal plants and soil samples. It was also used to determine fluoride ions in mouthwash samples and in toothpaste.
