A hydrogen ion-selective electrode (ISE) is prepared by using 5,11,17,23-tetra-tert-butyl-25,26,27,28-tetracyanometoxy-calix[4]arene and an investigation about whether it could be used as a thiocyanate ion-selective electrode is made by using its characteristic of becoming thiocyanate sensitive in acidic regions. The electrode of the optimum characteristic has a composition of 1% ionophore. 66% 2-NPOE and 33% poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC). This electrode exhibits a linear response over the range 1.0 x 10(-1) to 3.0 x 10(5) M of thiocyanate with a slope of 52.0 +/- 0.2 mV/pSCN. The effects of the pH and the membrane composition are also investigated. The lifetime of the electrode is at least 4 months and its response time is found to be 10-15 s. The selectivity coefficients of some anions are calculated by using mixed solution interference method. Application of the electrode to the potentiometric titration of thiocyanate ion with silver nitrate is reported. There is a good agreement between the results obtained by the proposed electrode and the Mohr method at 955 confidence level. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
