Lithium Ion Selective Electrode Based on a Synthetic Neutural Carrier

중성운반체를 이용한 리튬이온 선택 전극

THF-based crown-4 of 16-membered rings having tetrahydrofuran unit was synthesized by an acid-catalyzed condensation of furan and acetone followed by hydrogenation in an effort to obtain highly elective ionophores for lithium ions. The new ionophore was compared with previously reported ionophores under similar measurement conditions with the same plasticizer, tris(2-ethylhexyl) phosphate in poly(vinyl chloride)(PVC) membrane electrodes. Separate solution method was used to determine relative selectivity coefficients for the electrode. The selectivity coefficients($K_{LiM}^{POT}$) of lithium over ammonium, alkali and alkaline earth metal ions go from about $2.4{\times}10^{-1}$ to $2.3{\times}10^{-4}$ to working range and pH dependence have also been studied.

리튬이온의 새로운 중성운반체로서 tetrahydrofuran 단위의 16고리형 crown-4를 퓨란과 아세톤으로부터 산 촉매하에서 합성하여 수소화시킨 후 리튬-이온과의 착물형성반응을 Li-7 NMR과 전기전도도법으로 조사했다. 합성한 리간드를 PVC-액체막 전극에 사용하여 분리용액법에 의한 리튬이온의 선택성을 결정하였다. 막용매, tris(2-ethylhexyl) phosphate에서 리튬이온의 선택계수는 알칼리금속이온 및 알칼리토금속이온에 대해 $2.4{\times}10^{-1}$에서 $2.3{\times}10^{-4}$ 범위의 값을 가졌으며, 산성용액(pH=2 이하, 0.1M LiCl)에서 액체막은 $H^+$ 이온의 방해로 불안정하였다.
