Abstract

Electrochemical response of a carbon paste electrodes modified by cucurbit[8]uril (Q[8]) has been described. The electrochemical characterization of Q[8]-modified electrode (Q[8]MCPE) by using cyclic voltammetry exhibits the recognition to phenols. For two series of substrates, o-, m-, p-hydroxybenzyl alcohol and o-, m-, p-methoxyphenol, the special response depends on the structures of substrates, the modification with macrocyclic compound Q[8] always favors m-substituted phenols.
