Polymeric membrane electrodes for acetate anion based on meso-(${\alpha}$,${\alpha}$,${\alpha}$,${\alpha}$)-5,10,15,20-tetrakis[2-(penta-fluorophenylurea) phenyl]porphyrin I and similar urea-functionalized porphyrins Ⅱ-Ⅳ as neutral ionophores were prepared. The membrane based on porphyrin I exhibits the best potentiometric properties in pH 6.0 rather than pH 7.0: linear stable response over a wide concentration range (6.0 ${\times}$$10^{-5}$-1.0 ${\times}$$10^{-2}$) with a slope of -59.6 mV/decade and a detection limit of log[CH3CO$O^-$] = -5.32. Selectivity coefficients obtained from the matched potential method (MPM) in pH 6.0 indicate that interferences of hydrophobic anions are very small for the membranes of porphyrins I and II having the strong withdrawing group. The electronic effect of urea-functionalized porphyrins and pH effect of buffer solutions are discussed on the potentiometric response.
