The first ion-selective electrodes (ISEs) based on bulk membranes containing an ion carrier
were introduced more than 30 years ago. It has been estimated that by 1990 more than …

This review on ion-selective electrodes (ISEs) is arranged in the same way as earlier
reviews of this series. The whole subject continues to grow. As in the preceding review, the …

A PVC membrane sensor for mercury (II) ions based on hexathia-18-crown-6-tetraone as
membrane carrier was prepared. The sensor exhibits a Nernstian response for Hg2+ ions …

A segmented sandwich membrane method is used to determine complex formation
constants of 18 electrically neutral ionophores in situ in solvent polymeric sensing …

Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of 2-[(6-mercaptohexyl) oxy] methyl-12-crown-4 (1) and
2-[(6-mercaptohexyl) oxy] methyl-15-crown-5 (2) on gold are able to bind cations reversibly …

We present the most complete study to date comprising in vitro cytotoxicity tests of ion-
selective membranes (ISMs) in terms of cell viability, proliferation, and adhesion assays with …

Since Pedersen reported the synthesis and complexing propertiesof the crown ethers, 1
there has been increasing interest in the crown compounds as com-plexing agents for …

This paper presents the development of alkali metal ion selective small molecules and
conjugated polymers for optical ion sensing. A crown ether bithiophene unit is chosen as the …

A technique for the fabrication of solid-state ion sensors based on self-plasticising poly (n-
butyl acrylate) matrix by photocuring is described. The poly (n-butyl acrylate) membrane was …

Molecular recognition, ie, ability of one molecule to recognize another through weak
bonding interactions, is one of the bases of life. It is often implemented to sensing systems of …
