New sensing platform based on modified glassy carbon (GC) suitable for design of heavy metal-ionsensor is reported in this study. GC-based electrodes were electrochemically modified by poly-5-nitro-1,10-phenanthroline (poly-5NP) and poly-5-amino, 6-nitro-1,10-phenanthroline (poly-5A6NP) layers.Grafting of electrochemically formed poly-5NP and poly-5A6NP layers at the GC electrode surface wasconfirmed by electrochemical reduction of nitro groups into amine groups. Presence of grafted poly-5NP and poly-5A6NP layers and formation of their reduced forms on the GC electrode surface wereverified by cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, contact angle measurements,ellipsometry and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The applicability of poly-5NP- and poly-5A6NPfunctionalizedcarbon surfaces for the determination of Cu(II) ions was demonstrated by formation ofcomplexes between GC-grafted poly-5NP and poly-5A6NP layers and Cu(II) ions.
