Abstract: A new highly selective thiocyanate PVC membrane electrode based on bisbebzoin-semitriethylenetetraamine binuclear cobalt(Ⅱ) metallic complex [Co(Ⅱ)2-BBSTA] as neutral carrier is reported, which displays an anti-Hofmeister selectivity sequence. The electrode exhibits Nernstian potential linear range to thiocyanate from 1.0×10-1 to 1.0×10-6mol/L with a detection limit 8.0×10-7mol/L and a slope of -52.0 mV/dec in phosphorate buffer solution of pH=5.0 at 25 ℃. The response mechanism is discussed in view of the a.c. impedance technique and the UV spectroscopy technique. The electrode based on binuclear cobalt(Ⅱ) compound was used to determine the thiocyanate content in waste water with satisfactory results.
