Popis: The formation of an inclusion complex between 4-aminobiphenyl (4-AB) and β-cyclodextrin molecules (β-CD), allows the use of thiolated β-CDs as chemi-adsorbed material on a Au electrode as a self-assembled submonolayer for the selective square wave voltammetric determination of 4-AB. The submonolayer was characterized by reductive desorption and an association constant of 1.2×104 L/mol was obtained. The optimization of variables yielded a linear dependence of ip/4-AB concentration in the range of 10−5 to 10−4 mol/L. The selectivity of the method was evaluated in the presence of other aromatic amines obtaining better results with the modified electrode. This methodology was applied to the voltammetric determination of 4-AB in wastewater samples.
