A new solid-state mercury ion-selective electrode was prepared by directly coating the surface of a glassy carbon electrode with tetrahydrofuran solution containing PVC, 25,27-dihydroxy-26,28- bis[(1′-naphthalene) selenopropoxy] calix[4]arene, dioctyl phthalate and potassium tetrakis(4-chlorophenyl) borate. The response of the electrode is linear with a good Nernstian slope of 31.5 mV/decade ove……
