Abstract
Selective sensors: Trifluoroacetophenone derivatives were synthesized with a hexasubstituted benzene ring as a preorganized spacer (see scheme) and their characteristics as ionophores were examined for use in ion-selective electrodes. The electrode membranes based on these neutral carriers combined with a cationic additive showed a monoanionic Nernstian response to underivatized phenylalanine, with excellent selectivity towards other essential amino acids and inorganic anions.
