A spectroelectrochemical sensor that has trimodal selectivity (selective partitioning, electrochemistry, and spectroscopy) is evaluated for the determination of ferrocyanide in solution. The sensor is based on attenuated total reflection spectroscopy at an indium‐tin oxide optically transparent electrode coated with a cationic PDMDAAC‐SiO2, where PDMDAAC means poly(dimethyldiallylammonium chloride) film into which anionic Fe(CN)64– partitions. Fe(CN)64– loaded into the film is subjected to spectroelectrochemical modulation, and the absorbance change at 420 nm associated with cycling Fe(CN)64–/Fe(CN)63– is used to quantitate the analyte. Cyclic voltammograms of Fe(CN)64–, 0.1 M KNO3 at high concentrations showed multiple peaks, which are interpreted as two types of Fe(CN)64–/Fe(CN)63– in the PDMDAAC‐SiO2 film: Fe(CN)64– bound to PDMDAAC and free Fe(CN)64– in interstitial regions of the porous film. The sensor response was affected by ionic strength and anion type of the supporting electrolyte and film thickness. The diffusion coefficient of Fe(CN)64– in the PDMDAAC‐SiO2 film was determined to be 4.9×10–11 cm2/s. An analytical calibration plot of absorbance change at 420 nm versus Fe(CN)64– concentration with a preconcentration time to equilibration was linear from 5 to 400 µM ferrocyanide with negative deviation from linearity observed at higher concentrations. However, a linear calibration plot at high concentrations (1–8 mM) could be achieved by making sensor measurements in a very short time period, only 1 min after exposure to the sample.
