For determination of levodopa (L‐DOPA) and paracetamol (PAR), selective, effective and sensitive electrochemical sensor based on 3,5‐diamino‐1,2,4‐triazole (35DT) on glassy carbon (GC) electrode was reported. The DPV method was used to obtain the oxidation peak current of L‐DOPA which increased linearly with its concentration at the range of 1–99 μM and 99–480 μM. The linear relationship between the concentration of PAR and its peak current was obtained in the range of 0.3–55 μM and 55–475 μM. The limit of detection values for PAR and L‐DOPA were found to be 0.1 and 0.25 μM, respectively. Satisfactory results were obtained in pharmaceutical samples.

A simple and fast electrochemical method was described and evaluated to determine the hazardous compound, 4‐nitrophenol (4NP). In this work, concentration of 4NP was determined by differential wave voltammetry (DPV). A gold electrode (Au) was modified with 3,5‐diamino‐1,2,4‐triazole (35DT). The modified electrode (35DT‐Au) was characterized by using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), fouirer transform infrared spektrofotometre (FTIR), cyclic voltammetry (CV) and DPV. The modified electrode showed more sensitivity towards 4NP compared to unmodified one. A wide linear concentration range from 0.24 to 130.6 μM was obtained for 4NP with a detection limit of 0.09 μM. In the reproducibility and repeatability studies, the relative standard deviation (RSD%) values of the method were obtained as 3.72 % and 2.56 %, respectively, which are acceptable values. This proposed method was successfully used for the analysis of 4NP in lake and tap water samples. Simplicity, sensitivity, selectivity and high efficiency of the proposed method can be used in routine analysis of trace amounts of 4NP in polluted waters.
