Abstract: Electrodes based on polyether derivatives of o-phenanthroline were prepared. The potentiometric response characteristics of the electrodes prepared were investigated.The extraction constants Ke of amine species were determined in the presence and absence of polyether derivatives of o-phenanthroline in the organic phase. The relationship between the electrode selectivity and Ke was examined. The benzylamine selective electrode based on polyether derivative of o-phenanthroline showed the following selectivity order: benzylamine >ethylamine>tetraethylammonium>triethylamine>diethylamine>ammonium. This was exactly the extraction constant sequence of the amine species. The PHEN19C7-based electrode was used to determine the Mexiletine content in pharmaceutical preparations with satisfactory results.

Key words: Ion-selective electrode, Polyether derivative of o-phenanthroline, Amine, Ex-traction constant
