Hydrogen ion-selective membrane electrodes based on alkyldibenzylamines as neutral carriers
1Department of Chemistry, Kon-Kuk University, Seoul 143-701, South Korea.
Abstract:
New synthetic hydrogen ion-selective carriers, derivatives of dibenzylamine, have been used as neutral carriers in liquid membrane electrodes to measure pH range from 2 to 10. A H(+)-selective membrane electrode based on octyldibenzylamine gave a better linear response to pH than other alkyldibenzylamines as neutral carriers. It gave a linear response over the pH range 2-10 and a slope of 56.5 mV/pH at 20 degrees C. The electrode had fairly low electrical resistance, good potential stability and reproducibility. The selectivity coefficients towards sodium, potassium and calcium ions as well as other characteristics of the membrane electrode have been studied.

The Standard Hydrogen Electrode (SHE) is a widely used reference electrode that maintains zero potential across all temperatures. However, its need for a continuous hydrogen gas supply renders it impractical for everyday use.
An alternative to SHE is the Saturated Calomel Electrode (SCE). This electrode features an...

Basicity of Aliphatic Amines
To measure the basicity of amines, two conventions are generally used. The first defines Kb as the basicity constant for the deprotonation reaction of water by the amine, as presented in Figure 1. Conventionally, lower Kb indicates higher...
