N2 - It is shown that the addition of a coexchanger does not always improve the selectivity of an ion-selective electrode. As a model case, the selectivity toward divalent primary ions I2+ in the presence of monovalent interference J+ is numerically simulated for membranes based onion-exchanger R- and doped with a coexchanger (ionic additive) S+. It is, for the first time, demonstrated that the addition of a coexchanger, together with a high mobility of ion-exchanger sites, may be either beneficial or harmful to selectivity. Accordingly, two distinctive representatives of systems, i.e., membrane/solution are discussed. The theory is illustrated with experimental data obtained from PVC membranes based on calcium bis(2ethylhexyl)-phosphate plasticized with tris(2ethylhexyl)phosphate and doped with tetradecylammonium. Electrodes with these membranes exhibit both types of selectivity behavior. Interference from lithium with a calcium response may be sufficiently decreased by the addition of tetradecylammonium, while the interference from potassium and cesium was increased in the doped membranes.
