Abstract
Novel optical sensors for nickel determination by incorporation of 5-(2`-bromo-phenylazo)-6-hydroxypyrimidine-2,4-dione (I), 5-(2`,4`-dimethylphenylazo)-6-hydroxypyrimidine-2,4-dione (II), dibutylphthalate (DBP) and sodium tetra-phenylborate (Na-TPB) to the plasticized polyvinyl chloride matrices were prepared. The introduction of DBP in the membrane substantially increased the ability of both ionophores I and II to function as chromo ionophores. The advantages of the reported sensors include great stability, reproducibility, and relatively long lifespan, as well as excellent selectivity for Ni2+ ion detection across a wide range of alkali, alkaline earth, transition, and heavy metal ions.Under optimized membrane compositions and experimental parameters, the response of both sensors was linear throughout a concentration range of 3.5 × 10-8 to 8.1 × 10-5 and 2.0 × 10-8 to 5.1 × 10-5 M for I and II, respectively. Sensor detection and quantification limits based on the definition that the concentration of the sample leads to a signal equal to the blank signal plus three and ten times its standard deviation were determined to be 1.15 × 10-8 and 3.45 × 10-8 M when utilizing I, whereas they were 0.61 × 10-8 and 1.95 × 10-8 M when utilizing II, respectively. The reaction time of optodes is defined as the period required achieving 95% of based sensors and found to be 8.0 and 5.0 min using I and II, respectively. Ni2+ ion concentrations in water, food, and environmental samples were effectively determined using the proposed optical sensors. Representative diagram for preparation of the sensing Ni2+ sensor.
