Abstract

2-Ethoxy-1-ethoxycarbonyl-1,2-dihydroquinoline (EED) was found to be a suitable neutral ionophore for the preparation of a highly selective samarium (Sm)(III) membrane sensor. Poly vinylchloride (PVC)–based membranes of EED with sodium tetraphenyl borate (NaTPB) as an anionic additive and dibutylphthalate (DBP), nitrobenzene (NB), and acetophenone (AP) as plasticizing solvent mediators were prepared and investigated as Sm(III) sensors. The sensor exhibited a Nernstian response over a concentration range of 1.0 × 10−6 to 1.0 × 10−2 M, with a detection limit of 5.0 × 10−7 M. The best performance was achieved with a membrane composition of 30% PVC, 66% dibutyl phthalate (DBP), 2% EED, and 2% sodium tetraphenyl borate (NaTPB). It has a very short response time, in the whole concentration range (∼10s), and can be used for at least 10 weeks. The proposed electrode shows a very good selectivity toward Sm(III) ions over a wide variety of cations, including alkali, alkaline earth, transition-metal, and heavy-metal ions. The sensor was applied to the determination of Sm ions in binary mixtures.
