Potentiometric properties of the PVC membrane-based electrodes prepared with molecular tweezer-type neutral carriers, 3,12-bis(TFAB)CA and deoxy-3,12-bis(TFAB)CA, and trifluoroacetyl-p-decylbenzene (TFADB) were measured in buffered electrolytes (0.1 M Tris-H2SO4, pH 8.6 and 8.0) and artificial seawater. It was observed that the deoxy-3,12-bis(TFAB)CA-based electrode provides greatly enhanced carbonate selectivity over chloride (log K(CO3(2-), Cl-)POT approximately -6) and other minor anions present in seawater. Thus, we explored the possibility of applying this new carbonate-selective electrode for direct determination of oceanic carbon dioxide. The total carbon dioxide (TCO2) level in surface Yellow Sea water was determined with the deoxy-3,12-bis(TFAB)CA-based electrode, Severinghaus-type CO2 gas sensor, and the traditional potentiometric titration methods. The results showed that the carbonate-selective electrode provides accurate oceanic TCO2 determination comparable to that obtainable with the other two methods. The analytical procedure based on a carbonate-selective electrode is clearly advantageous over other conventional methods: it does not require any sample pretreatment and extra reagents other than the standard calibration solutions, while providing the measured results directly and immediately.

Abstract
Potentiometric properties of the PVC membrane-based electrodes prepared with molecular tweezer-type neutral carriers, 3,12-bis(TFAB)CA and deoxy-3,12-bis(TFAB)CA, and trifluoroacetyl-p-decylbenzene (TFADB) were measured in buffered electrolytes (0.1 M Tris-H2SO4, pH 8.6 and 8.0) and artificial seawater. It was observed that the deoxy-3,12-bis(TFAB)CA-based electrode provides greatly enhanced carbonate selectivity over chloride (log K(CO3(2-), Cl-)POT approximately -6) and other minor anions present in seawater. Thus, we explored the possibility of applying this new carbonate-selective electrode for direct determination of oceanic carbon dioxide. The total carbon dioxide (TCO2) level in surface Yellow Sea water was determined with the deoxy-3,12-bis(TFAB)CA-based electrode, Severinghaus-type CO2 gas sensor, and the traditional potentiometric titration methods. The results showed that the carbonate-selective electrode provides accurate oceanic TCO2 determination comparable to that obtainable with the other two methods. The analytical procedure based on a carbonate-selective electrode is clearly advantageous over other conventional methods: it does not require any sample pretreatment and extra reagents other than the standard calibration solutions, while providing the measured results directly and immediately.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
