Abstract

Two new Ag(I) chemically modified carbon paste electrodes were prepared with comparative potentiometric study of 1,3,6,10,13-pentaaza-2,14-(2,6-pyridyl)-cyclotetradecane-4,12-dione (PPCT) and 1,3,6,9,11,12-pentaaza-2,13-(2,6-pyridyle)-bicycle[2,2,9]pentadecane-4,11-dione (PPBP) as ionophore. These sensors have been modified with sol–gel–Au nanoparticles to obtain a wide concentration range for potentiometric determination of Ag(I) in aqueous solutions. The sensors exhibit significantly enhanced selectivity toward Ag(I) ions over a wide concentration range of 4.0 × 10−9–2.2 × 10−2 and 2.2 × 10−7–2.0 × 10−2 mol L−1 with a lower detection limit of 2.5 × 10−9 and 2.0 × 10−7 mol L−1 for PPCT and PPBP modified electrodes respectively. The electrodes are highly selective to Ag(I) ions over a large number of mono, bi, and tri-valent cations. These electrodes were successfully used as indicator electrode for potentiometric determination of silver in sulphadiazine (burning cream) and radiological film.
