Concern over the harmful effect of toxic metals in the environment warrants the need of continuous improvement for their determination. Conventional methods such as inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and atomic absorption spectrophotometry (AAS) for the determination of metal ions in aqueous solution have several drawbacks such as time consuming manipulation steps, need for sophisticated instruments and high maintenance costs. Alternative methods such as electrochemical technique have been suggested, particularly offering advantages in terms of speed of analysis, low cost, easy operation and ability to directly determine metal ion in complex aqueous samples. In the present study, acetophenone-benzaldehyde ethylenediamine compounds, N,N’-bis(2-hydroxyacetophenone)ethylenediamine, bis(4-hydroxybenzaldehyde)ethylenediamine, bis (benzylidene)ethylenediamine and N,N’-bis(2-hydroxy-4-methoxyacetophenone)ethylenediamine were synthesized and applied to modify carbon based electrodes for the determination of metal ions using electrochemical techniques. The ligands were used in-situ to enhance the detection of cadmium (Cd(II)) and copper (Cu(II)) ions using differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry (DPASV). Under the optimized conditions the proposed in-situ DPASV method for Cd(II) and Cu(II) provides good limits of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) in the range of 0.1 - 1.0 µg L-1 and 1.30 - 4.53 µg L-1 respectively.
