A plausible sensor working mechanism includes the axial coordination of the target anion on ionophore metal center followed by the formed complex aggregation with the second ionophore molecule through positively charged anion-exchanger fragment. The UV-visible spectroscopic studies in solution have revealed that the analyte concentration increase induces the J-type porphyrin aggregation. Polymeric membranes doped with CoTPP-N showed close to the theoretical Nernstian response toward nitrite ion, preferably coordinated by the ionophore, and were dependent on the presence of additional membrane-active components (lipophilic ionic sites and ionophore) in the membrane phase. The resulting selectivity was a subject of specific interaction and\/or steric factors. Moreover, it was demonstrated theoretically and confirmed experimentally that the selection of a proper ratio of ionophore and anionic additive can optimize the sensor selectivity and lifetime.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s21041401","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,2,17]],"date-time":"2021-02-17T21:35:42Z","timestamp":1613597742000},"page":"1401","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["The Long-Lasting Story of One Sensor Development: From Novel Ionophore Design toward the Sensor Selectivity Modeling and Lifetime Improvement"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"21","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1137-6973","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Larisa","family":"Lvova","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemical Science and Technologies, University of Rome \u201cTor Vergata\u201d, 00133 Rome, Italy"}]},{"given":"Donato","family":"Monti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemistry, La Sapienza University of Rome, 00185 Rome, Italy"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0543-4348","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Corrado Di","family":"Natale","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electronic Engineering, University of Rome \u201cTor Vergata\u201d, 00133 Rome, Italy"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2380-1404","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Roberto","family":"Paolesse","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemical Science and Technologies, University of Rome \u201cTor Vergata\u201d, 00133 Rome, Italy"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,2,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2517","DOI":"10.1021\/acs.chemrev.6b00361","article-title":"Porphyrinoids for Chemical Sensor Applications","volume":"117","author":"Paolesse","year":"2017","journal-title":"Chem.
