Copper (II) complex of 2,4-dimethyl-1,5,9,12-tetraazacyclopentadeca-1,4-diene, [Me-2(15)dieneN(4)] was synthesized and used in the fabrication of Cu2+ -selective ISE membrane in PVC matrix. The membrane having Cu(II) macrocyclic complex as electroactive material along with sodium tetraphenyl borate (NaTPB) as anion discriminator. Dibutyl phthalate (DBP) as plasticizer in poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) matrix was prepared for the determination of Cu2+. The best performance was observed by the membrane having Cu(II) complex-PVC-NaTPB-DBP with composition 1:5:1:3. The sensor worked well over a concentration range 1.12 x 10(-6) M-1.0 X 10(-1) M between pH 2.1-6.2 and a fast response time 10 +/- 2 s and a lifetime of 6 months. Their performance in partially non-aqueous medium was found satisfactory. Electrodes exhibited excellent selectivity for Cu2+ ion over other mono-, di-, trivalent cations. It can also be used as indicator electrode in the potentiometric titration Of Cu2+ against EDTA as well as in the determination of Cu2+ in real samples.
