Anion Selectivities of Triorganyltin Acetates and Halides in Solvent Polymeric Membranes

Abstract
A series of triorganyltin compounds of the type R3SnY and RR2SnY has been studied in view of their anion selectivities exhibited in solvent polymeric membranes. A large variety of selectivity patterns has been observed first by varying the concentration of a given ionophore in the membrane phase, and second by using ionophores which differ in the organic substituents R on the Sn centre. With more space consuming substituents R, the observed selectivity patterns become more and more similar to that of a blank membrane, suggesting steric hindrance for the pentacoordination of the corresponding ionophores by sample anions.
