The oxidation of benzophenone‐4 (2‐hydroxy‐4‐methoxybenzophenone‐5‐sulfonic acid) at glassy carbon electrode gives rise to stable redox active electropolymerized film during repetitive potential cycling between 0 to 1.3 V (Ag/AgCl). Cyclic voltammogram of poly(benzophenone‐4) film shows a redox couple with well‐defined peaks. The redox response of the modified electrode was found to be depending on the pH of the contacting solution. The peak potentials were shifted to a less positive region with increasing pH and the dependence of the peak potential was found to be 51 mV/pH. The electrocatalytic behavior of poly(benzophenone‐4) film modified electrode towards oxidation of dopamine, ascorbic acid and reduction of nitrite was investigated. The oxidation of dopamine and ascorbic acid occurred at less positive potential on poly(benzophenone‐4) film compared to bare glassy carbon electrode. For dopamine, the overpotential was reduced about 180 mV. Feasibility of utilizing poly(benzophenone‐4) film coated electrode in analytical estimation of dopamine, ascorbic acid and nitrite was also demonstrated.
