Poly(vinyl chloride)(PVC) membrane electrodes based on the lipophilic neutral carrier, dibenzo-18-crown-6(DB18C6) and benzo-15-crown-5 (B15C5) as the active sensors for Tl$^+$ ion have been prepared and tested in different content of the potassium tetrakis(4-chlorophenyl)borate (KTClPB) as lipophilic salt. Dioctyl adipate (DOA), 2-nitrophenyl phenyl ether (NPPE) and o-nitrophenyl actyl ether (NPOE) were used as plasticizing solvent mediators. Electrodes exhibited good linear responses of 40∼55 mV decade$^{-1}$ for Tl$^+$ ion within the concentration ranges 10$^{-1}$∼10$^{-5}$M TlNO$_3$. Selectivity coefficients of interfering ions (alkali metal, alkaline earth metal and some transition metal ions) for Tl$^+$-ISE were determined by separate solution method and were sufficiently small for most of them. These crown ether type ion-selective electrodes are suitable for use with aqueous solution at pH > 3.

The reaction of thianthrene cation radical perchlorate with thioxanthene in acetonitrile gave thianthrene and dark reddish thioxanthylium ion instead of thioxanthene cation radical. Addition of aromatic nucleophiles such as anisole, aniline, N,N-diethylaniline, catechol, ethylbenzene, to the above mixture yielded the corresponding thioxanthenes with substituent at 9 position. Reactions with dibenzo-18-crown-6-ether, diphenylmercury, and triphenylphosphine gave similar products. However, reactions with aromatics with electron-withdrawing group were either too slow or inert to such a reaction.
