Description
Product Description
Bis(benzo-15-crown-5) is a potassium selective ionophore. Its potassium ion selectivity is almost equal to that of valinomycin, which is a well known neutral carrier for the potassium ion in nature. This reagent, combined with NPOE as a plasticizer, is the most recommended ionophore for potassium-selective PVC membrane electrodes. This ionophore also forms a thallium complex, so it can be used for thallium sensors.
Chemical Structure
Ion selectivity: LogKt(K/Na):-3.6, LogKpot(K/Rb):-0.7, LogKpot(K/NH4):-2.0, LogKpot(K/Cs):-2.0
Formulation: Ionophore: 2.7%, NPOE: 70%, TFPB: 50 mol% of ionophore/PVC, THF
