| Abstract: | Tri-o-thymotide (I) has been used as an electroactive material in PVC (poly(vinyl chloride)) matrix for fabrication of chromium(III)-selective sensor. The membrane containing tri-o-thymotide, sodium tetraphenyl borate (NaTPB), dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and PVC in the optimum ratio 5:1:75:100 (w/w) exhibits a working concentration range of 4.0 × 10?6 to 1.0 × 10?1 M with a Nernstian slope of 20.0 ± 0.1 mV/decade of activity in the pH range of 2.8–5.1. The detection limit of this sensor is 2.0 × 10?7 M. The electrode exhibits a fast response time of 15 s, shows good selectivity towards Cr3+ over a number of mono-, bi- and trivalent cations and can also be used in partially non-aqueous medium (up to 15%, v/v) also. The assembly has been successfully used as an indicator electrode in the potentiometric titration of chromium(III) against EDTA and also to determine Cr(III) quantitatively in electroplating industry waste samples. |
