Zusammenfassung:Ion-sensitive compositions which comprise an ionophore, a compound capable of solvating the ionophore, and a supporting matrix are disclosed. The ionophore according to the invention is a lipophilic hemispherand compound. These compositions are particularly useful in ion-sensitive electrodes. Preferred electrodes are capable of selectively detecting a first ion in preference to a second ion. Particularly useful hemispherands have a DELTA G of complexation with the first ion which is at least 0.3 Kcal/mole greater than the DELTA G of complexation with the second ion.
