“…16.16) have been used to modify CPEs with the goal to improve the selectivity of their accumulation/ recognition properties. Examples of macrocyclic CPE modifiers with "more or less planar geometries" are: crown ethers (18-crown-6 [783][784][785] or dibenzo-18-crown-6 783,785 ), thiacrown compounds, 786 macrocyclic thiohydrazone, 787 or tetraazamacrocyclic compounds of the cyclam family 788 ; CPEs modified with such macrocyclic derivatives were used for various purposes such as electrocatalytic, voltammetric or potentiometric detection of metal ions or organics. In addition, cyclodextrins [789][790][791] or calixarenes, [792][793][794] both exhibiting very rich host-guest chemistry, have been incorporated into CPEs and subsequently used as sensors for metal ions and organic pollutants.…”
