Abstract:

Lanthanide luminescence contains detailed chemical information and can be used to report on several chemical analytes. This has been exploited through elaborate synthesis of responsive lanthanide complexes. Here, we report on a less elaborate approach and assemble four different nanooptodes. Europium(III) is used to sense the bicarbonate concentration. The signal from the optode was enhanced 100 times using antenna chromophore and the response was modulated by the addition of lipophilic cations.

Membrane electrodes, also known as p-ion electrodes, use membranes that selectively interact with free analyte ions, generating a potential difference across the membrane. The resulting membrane potential, known as the asymmetry potential, is not zero even when analyte concentrations on both sides of the membrane are equal. The membrane's response is typically not selective to a single analyte but proportional to the concentration of all ions in the sample solution capable of interacting at...
