Abstract: | Molecular wires containing copper(II) (CuMW), in the form of the coordination polymer (Cu(II)4(bpp)4(maa)8(H2O)2).2H2O (bpp=1,3-bis(4-pyridyl)propane, maa=2-methylacrylic acid), and multiwalled carbon nanotubes (CNT) have been combined to prepare a paste electrode (CuMW/CNT/PE). The voltammetric response of the CuMW/CNT/PE to metformin (MET) was significantly greater than that of electrodes prepared from other materials, because of both the surface effect of CuMW and CNT and coordination of MET with the Cu(II) ion in the CuMW. A novel voltammetric method for determination of MET is proposed. In pH 7.2 Britton–Robinson buffer, using single sweep voltammetry, the second-order derivative peak current for oxidation of MET at 0.97 V (relative to SCE) increased linearly with MET concentration in the range 9.0 × 10−7–5.0 × 10−5 mol L−1 and the detection limit was 6.5 × 10−7 mol L−1. Figure When a combination of molecular wires containing copper(II) (CuMW) and multiwalled carbon nanotubes (CNT) was used to prepare a paste electrode (CuMW/CNT/PE) the voltammetric response to metformin (curve c) was significantly higher than that at a carbon/PE (curve a) or a CNT/PE (curve b), because of the amplification effect of CNT and CuMW. A novel voltammetric method is proposed for determination of MET |
