Well-defined voltammetric behavior was obtained only for K(+) ion among the used metal ions. The electrochemical data were used to determine the stoichiometry and the appropriate association constant of the occurring complex between K(+) ion and APHC4. The obtained steady-state voltammograms indicated that the facilitated transfer process occurs with a TIC/TID mechanism according to 1:1 stoichiometry. The logarithm of the association constant (log beta(0)(1)) of K(APHC4)(+) complex in the DCE phase was calculated to be 6.32. Also, the availability of the facilitated transfer for the design of an amperometric screening sensor for K(+) ion was evaluated in the range of 50-500 mu mol dm(-3). (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
