A highly selective membrane electrode based on1,3,5-triphenylpyrylium perchlorate (TPPP) is presented. The proposed electrode shows very good selectivity for sulfate ions over a wide variety of common inorganic and organic anions. The sensor displays a nice Nernstian slope of -29.7 mV per decade. The working concentration ranges of the electrode is 1.0{\times}10^{-1}-6.3{\times}10^{-6} $M with a detection limit of $4.0{\times}10^{-6}$ M (480 ng per mL). The response time of the sensor in whole concentration ranges is very short (< 6 s). The response of the sensor is independent on the pH range of 2.5-9.5. The best performance was obtained with a membrane composition of 32% PVC, 59% benzyl acetate, 5% TPPP and 4% hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide. It was successfully used as an indicator electrode for titration of sulfate ions with barium ions. The electrode was also applied for determination of salbutamol sulfate and paramomycine sulfate.

(Allyloxy)methyl-Crown Ethers have been used as metal cation carriers in a bulk liquid membrane system. Competitive transports by the AMDT18C6 and the AM18C6 are selective for Pd(Ⅱ) ion and Pb(Ⅱ) ion over other transition metal cations respectively. Studies of complexations of (Allyloxy)methyl-Crown Ethers with metal cations have been carried out by titration calorimetry and potentiometry.

The ligands were characterized by elemental analysis, mass and NMR spectroscopy. The elemental analysis showed that the ligands were isolated as dihydrochloride salt. The potentiometry study revealed that the proton dissociation constants$(logK_n{^H})$ of ligands and stability constants $(logK_{ML})$ of transition and heavy metals complexes. The order of the stability constants of each metal ions for ligands was Br-BHP < Cl-BHP > H-BHP < MeO-BHP < Me-BHP.

Bis(2-methylbenzaldehyde)butane-2,3-dihydrazone(TDSB) was used as new N-N Schiff's base which plays the role of an excellent ion carrier in the construction of a La(III) membrane sensor. The best performance was obtained with a membrane containing, 30% poly(vinyl chloride), 60% benzyl acetate, 6% TDSB and 4% sodium tetraphenyl borate. This sensor reveals a very good selectivity towards La(III) ions over a wide variety of cations, including alkali, alkaline earth, transition and heavy metal ions. The proposed electrode exhibits a Nernstian behavior (with slope of 19.8 mV per decade) over a wide concentration range (1.0 ${\times}$ 10$^{-5}$-1.0 ${\times}$ 10$^{-1}$ M). The detection limit of the sensor is 7.0 ${\times}$ 10$^{-6}$ M. It has a very short response time, in the whole concentration range ($\sim$5 s), and can be used for at least twelve weeks in the pH range of 3.0-9.4. The proposed sensor was successfully applied as an indicator electrode for the potentiometric titration of a La(III) solution, with EDTA. It was also successfully applied in the determination of fluoride ions in three mouth wash preparations.

A new poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC) membrane electrode that is highly selective to $Mn^{+2}$ ions was prepared using N,N'-bis(2'-pyridinecarboxamide)-1,2-ethane ($bpenH_2$) as a suitable neutral carrier. This concentration range ($1.0{\times}10^{-5}$ to $1.0{\times}10^{-1}\;M$) with Nernstian slope of $29.3{\pm}0.5\;mV$ per decade. The detection limit and the response time of electrode were $8.0{\times}10^{-6}\;M$ and (${\leq}15\;s$) respectively. The membrane can be used for more than two months without observing any divergence. The electrodes exhibited excellent selectivity for $Mn^{+2}$ ion over other mono-, di- and trivalent cations. Selectivity coefficients were determined by the matched potential method (MPM). The electrode can be used in the pH range from 4.0 - 9.0. The isothermal coefficient of this electrode amounted to 0.00023 V/$^{\circ}C$. The stability constant (log $K_s$) of the $Mn^{+2}$ - $bpenH_2$ complex was determined at $25^{\circ}C$ by potentiometric titration in mixed aqueous solution. The proposed electrode was applied to the determination of $Mn^{+2}$ ions in real samples.

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.
