The Schiff base N,N'-bis(pyridin-2-ylmethylene)benzene-1,2-diamine [BPBD] has been synthesized and explored as ionophore for preparing PVC-based membrane sensors selective to the silver ($Ag^+$) ion. Potentiometric investigations indicate high affinity of this receptor for silver ion. The best performance was shown by the membrane of composition (w/w) of ionophore: 1 mg, PVC: 33 mg, o-NPOE: 66 mg and additive were added 50 mol % relative to the ionophore in 1 mL THF. The sensor works well over a wide concentration range $1{\times}10^{-3}$ to $1.0{\times}10^{-7}$ M by pH 6 at room temperature (slope 58.6 mV/dec.) with a response time of 10 seconds and showed good selectivity to silver ion over a number of cations. It could be used successfully for the determination of silver ion content in environmental and waste water samples.

A PVC membrane ion-selective electrodes based on N,N,N,N-tetrabenzylethylenediamine as neutral carrier has been prepared by addition of plasticizers such as phthalates and sebacate and liphophillic additives such as NaTPB. The membrane electrodes were investigated to the electric resistance, response range to hydrogen ion and the interfering effect of alkali and alkline earth metals. A electric resistance hardly had on effect of plasticizers. In case of 0.7% NaTPB added to membrane, response of the electrodes were shown the values near to theoretical Nernstian slope and interferences by alkali and alkaline earth metal were few influenced. The performances of pH-selective electrodes were shown linerality to hydrogen ion between pH 2 and 10 in the presense of alkali and alkaline earth ions. Reproducibility and stability tests were shown good results in the same pH range.

We prepared lead ion-selective PVC membranes that were based on N,N'-bis-thiophene-2-ylmethylene-ethane-1,2-diamine as a membrane carrier. The membrane electrode has a linear dynamic range between 1.0 ${\times}$ $10^{-5}$ and 1.0 ${\times}$ $10^{-1}$ M with a Nernstian slope of 29.79 mV per decade, and its detection limit was 2.04 ${\times}$ $10^{-6}$ M at room temperature. The potentiometric response is independent of the pH of the solution in the pH range of 5-7. The proposed electrode revealed good selectivity and response for $Pb^{2+}$ over a wide variety of other metal ions in pH 5.0 buffer solutions, and there was good reproducibility of the base line on the subsequent measurements. The membrane electrode has a relatively fast response time, satisfactory reproducibility and a relatively long life time.

Copper(II) ion-selective PVC membrane electrode based on 2-mercaptobenzoxazole as a new ionophore and o-nitrophenyl octyl ether (o-NPOE) as plasticizer is proposed. This electrode revealed good selectivity for $Cu^{2+}$ over a wide variety of other metal ions. Effects of experimental parameters such as membrane composition, nature and amount of plasticizer, and concentration of internal solution on the potential response of $Cu^{2+}$ sensor were investigated. The electrode exhibits good response for $Cu^{2+}$ in a wide linear range of 5.0 ${\times}$ 10−.6-1.6 ${\times}$ $10^{-2}$ mol/L with a slope of 29.2 ${\pm}$ 2.0 mV/decade. The response time of the sensor is less than 10 s, and the detection limit is 2.0 ${\times}$ $10^{-6}$ mol/L. The electrode response was stable in pH range of 4-6. The lifetime of the electrode was about 2 months. The electrode revealed comparatively good selectivities with respect to many alkali, alkaline earth, and transition metal ions.

Penicillin sensor was prepared by immobilizing penicillinase (Pcase) on $H^{+}$-selective carboxylated poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC-COOH) membrane or cellulose filter membrane. The immobilization techniques are as follows. Pcase was immobilized with GTH on $H^{+}$-selective PVC-COOH membrane or some amount of BSA was dropped on that membrane. Another method to make immobilization is to mix type I Pcase with GTH and drop on a cellulose filter membrane. According to immobilization techniques, there were some differences in response properties of enzyme electrodes, however, all electrodes responded to Pcase-resistant penicillin derivatives. Pcase immobilized on cellulose filter membrane with $H^{+}$-selective PVC membrane eletrode was more stable and more sensitive to penicillinase-resistant penicillin derivatives than any other immobilization techniques.

A new PVC membrane electrode for $UO_2^{2+}$ ion based on 2,2'-[1,2-ethanediyl bis (nitriloethylidene)]bis(1-naphthalene) as a suitable ionophore was prepared. The electrode exhibites a Nernstian response for $UO_2^{2+}$ ion over a wide concentration range ($1.0{\times}10^{-1}-1.0{\times}10^{-7}$M) with a slope of 28.5 ${\pm}$ 0.8 mV/decade. The limit of detection is $7.0{\times}10^{-8}$M. The electrode has a response time of < 20 s and a useful working pH range of 3-4. The proposed membrane sensor shows good discriminating abilities towards $UO_2^{2+}$ ion with regard to several alkali, alkaline earth transition and heavy metal ions. It was successfully used to the recovery of uranyl ion from, tap water and, as an indicator electrode, in potentiometric titration of $UO_2^{2+}$ ion with Piroxycam.

This membrane exhibits a linear stable response over a wide concentration range ($1.0\;{\times}\;10^{-5}\sim1.0\;{\times}\;10^{-2}$) with a slope of -57.7 mV/decade, a detection limit of log[$I^-$] = -5.63, and a selectivity coefficient for iodide against perchlorate anion (log$K^{pot}_{I^-,j}$ = -1.42). The selectivity series of the membrane gives the follow as $I^-$ > $SCN^-$, $Sal^-$ > $ClO_4^-$ > $NO_3^-$ > $Br^-$ > $NO_2^-$ > $Cl^-$ > $F^-$. The proposed electrode showed good selectivity and response for iodide anion over a wide variety of other anions in pH 5.0 buffer solutions.

PVC membrane electrodes based on the lipophilic neutral carrier, dibenzo-18-crown-6, cyclic oligomers of teit-butylphenol-formaidehyde condensates, calix[4]arenes as the active sensors for verapamil have been prepared and tested in a variety of plasticizers. At pH 5.0, the electrode exhibits a Nernstian response in the range of 10$^{-2}$~5$\times$10$^{-5}$ M verapamil with a slope of 49.1$\pm$0.5mV per concentration decade. The electrode constructed in this work can be used continuously for at least 1 month before any damage to the membrane occurs. And the analyses of the local anesthetic amine, which are good to select a specific compound in a mixed solution, were also accomplished by using of another neutral carrier, a DB18C6, for comparing with calix[4]arene.

Ion-selective poly(vinyl chloride) membrane electrodes for the determination of the anticholinergic drug alverine in pure substances is described. Ion-pair complex of alverine with anionic counter ion acid red 97 is investigated as electroactive compound for the electrode membrane. On the optimal composition of membrane, its slope was 55.35mV/decade, relative standard deviation was 0.61 and lower limit of linear range was $1.0{\times}10^{-5}M$. The observed potentiometric selectivity coefficient was -2.625 toward methylephedrine and -2.216 toward histidine. We can got the stable potential at pH 7.0~4.0. Response time was 20~30 seconds for solutions${\leq}10^{-4}M$, about 10 seconds for solutions ${\geq}10^{-4}M$ of these compounds.
