Abstract: Heptakis(2,6-di-O-isobutyl)-β-cyclodextrin(DOB-β-CD) is able to increase the fluorescence of meso-tetra(4-methoxylphenyl)porphyrin(TMOPP) immobilized in plasticized PVCmembrane, and the fluorescence is quenched by carbon dioxide in aqueous solution. Based on this mechanism, a fluorescence sensing membrane has been developed for the determination of carbon dioxide in aqueous solution. The optimal membrane consists of 2 mg of TMOPP, 8 mg of DOB-β-CD, 50 mg of PVCand 100 mg of bis(2-ethylhexyl)sebate (DOS). With the optimal condition described, carbon dioxide in solution from 475×10-7 to 39×10-5 mol/Lcan be determined. Besides a high reproducibility of the optical signals, the very short response time less than 30s is realized. The sensor exhibits a good selectivity over some common ions.
