Acryloylmethylbenzo-15-crown-5 was prepared from the reaction of 4?-hydroxymethylbenzo-15-crown-5 with acryloyl chloride. And, poly(acryloylmethylbenzo-15-crown-5) [poly(AMB15C5)] was synthesized by radical polymerization using AIBN as initiator in benzene. Coated wire lead(B) ion-selective electrodes (Pb2+-CWISEs) using either poly(AMBlSC5) or B15C5 as neutral carrier were prepared, respectively. Pb2+-CWISEs gave linear responses with slopes of 28¡¾1mV per decade within the concentration range of 1.0¡¿10-5 M-1.0¡1.0¡¿10-1M, respectively. Also, the detection limits were 10-6 M and response times were either 3 or 5 min. for B15C5 and poly(AMBlSCS), respectively. Pb2+-CWISE base on B15C5 was rather unstable than poly(AMB15C5)'s due to solubility of the B15C5 in water. The selectivity coefficients of a variety of interfering ions such as Mg2+, Ca2+, Co2+, Ni2+, CU2+, Zn2+ and Cd2+ were small (10-4¡10-5), while those of Na+ and K+ were large (0.1¡0.01). In addition, the electrode responses depended upon the pH of test solution and the composition of the membrane. In the range pH 3¡6 of test solution, potentials of Pb2+-CWISEs were hardly changed. The optimal contents of B15C5 and poly(AMB15C5) were 7.7wt% and 13.1wt%, respectively.
