A brilliant green-polyvinyl chloride membrane coated glass electrode has been prepared with bril liant green - tetraphenyl-broate ion - pair complex being the electroactive material. The electrode is of high sensitvity and selectivity and exhibits a Nernst response slope of 54. 7 mV 1 dec. The linear range is 9. 80 ×10-7~5. 37 × 10-4mol/L for briiliant green. The electrode has been applied to the determination of trace nitrite in environmental water s...
