Abstract
Langmuir–Blodgett films built up from an amphiphilic derivative of benzothiazolium styryl dye containing a 1,10‐dithia‐18‐crown‐6 ether group have been found to complex with ‘soft’ polarisable ions such as Ag+ and Hg2+ in water. The films exhibited high sensitivity (stability constant of complex formation K ≈ 105 M−1) and high selectivity (e.g. K(Ag+)/K(Pb2+)> 105) compared with aqueous solutions of similar ionophores. This was attributed to the predominant formation of complexes with ligand–cation stoichiometries of 2:1 in the films.
