Abstract
Voltammetric method for the determination of a pyridine herbicide triclopyr (3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridyloxyacetic acid) is presented for the first time using bare boron-doped diamond electrode. Triclopyr provides one well-developed, pH-independent oxidation signal at ca. +1.9V (vs. Ag∣AgCl∣KCl (sat.)) contrary to structurally related clopyralid, which is not oxidizable at the working electrode. Britton–Robinson buffer (pH 2.0) was chosen as optimal electrolyte for determination of triclopyr using square wave and differential pulse voltammetry. The latter method provided slightly better detection limit of 0.82μmolL−1 and linearity in the concentration range 1.0–108.8μmolL−1. Applicability of the proposed method was verified by analysis of pesticide preparation, spiked water and urine with excellent results.
