Neutral-carrier-type ion-selective electrodes based on liquid-crystalline ion-sensing membranes containing an azobenzene derivative as the photosensitive chromophore show remarkable changes in their ion selectivity on photoirradiation, which is induced by the phase transition of the membranes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
