Several membrane-coated carbon rod anion-selective electrodes (CCRISE) were prepared by incorporating metal complex of bis(diphenylphosphino) propane (BDPPP) in a plasticized PVC film and their response characteristics were studied. Highly sensitive sensors were obtained with detection limit of 10-7, 10-6, 10-5.5 and 10-5.0M for ClO4-; SCN- and I-; Br- and NO3-; Cl- and benzoate (Bz-) ions, respectively.
