[Ca (2,2′-Bipyridine)₃]²⁺-Intercalated Montmorillonite: An Application as Potentiometric Sensor

Abstract:

This article involves the use of [Ca (2,2′-bipyridine)₃]²⁺-intercalated montmorillonite as a potentiometric sensor to measure anions in aqueous solution. The [Ca (2,2′-bipyridine)₃]²⁺-intercalated montmorillonite was prepared by modification of an in situ solid-solid reaction, between natural Ca (II)-montmorillonite and 2,2′-bipyridine at a molar ratio 1:3. The formation of [Ca (2,2′-bipyridine)₃]²⁺- in the interlayer space of montmorillonite was confirmed by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) and the existence of 2,2′-bipyridine was confirmed by the C:N ratio of the product compared with that of the 2,2′-bipyridine molecule. The potentiometric sensor was constructed by mixing [Ca (2,2′-bipyridine)₃]²⁺-intercalated montmorillonite with artificial graphite, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) in an appropriate ratio. It was found that the sensor had higher sensitivity to S^2- rather than other anions, graphs of log [S^2-] vs voltage (mv) gave a slope 30.0 which was closed to theoretical value, 29.5. Activity of the [Ca (2,2′-bipyridine)₃]²⁺ sensor was verified by using sensor made from Ca (II)-montmorillonite as a reference. Reproducibility and precision of the electrode were also determined.
