Chemically modified electrodes, constructed by Incorporating cobalt phthalocyanine (CoPC) Into the graphite powder/Nujol oil matrix used to fabricate conventional carbon paste electrodes, were shown to catalyze the electrooxidation of sulfhydryl-contalning compounds Including cysteine, homocysteine,/V-acetylcysteine, and glutathione. The sulfhydryl oxidation occurred at 0.75-0.85 V vs. Ag/AgCI, the same potential observed for the CoPC oxidation both In solution and after addition to the carbon paste. When used as the sensing electrodes In amperometric detection following liquid chromatography, the CoPC electrodes permitted detection of the compounds at similar values of applied potential. Detection limits of 2.7 pmol were obtained for cysteine, N-acetyl-cysteine, and homocysteine; and electrode response was linear up to 270 pmol Injected. Different carbon paste sur-faces renewed In the standard manner yielded chromatographic peak currents with a reproducibility of 7%.In recent years, electrodes possessing specific chemical functionalities intentionally linked to their surface have been demonstrated to possess distinct advantages over conventional electrode substrates in numerous application areas including electrosynthesis, electrocatalysis, and photoelectrochemistry (1, 2). In principle, such chemically modified electrodes (CMEs) should also be able to provide enhanced performance in the area of electroanalysis as well. However, to date, in-stances involving the utilization of CMEs for such purposes have not been extensively documented despite thepotential advantages which might be expected to accrue. One of the important properties of CMEs which has been the object of considerable study has been their ability to catalyze the oxidation or reduction of solute species which exhibit high overvoltages at unmodified surfaces and conse-quently are not ideally suited to quantitative determination via conventional electrochemical approaches. Since the major effect of such CME electrocatalysis consists of the lowering of the potential required for the electrolysis of the catalyzed redox system, these electrodes should possess direct application in a variety of analytical situations. In particular, their use should greatly improve the capabilities of electrochemical detection techniques in liquid chromatography (LCEC) where
