A composite graphite (CG) electrode modified with poly(2,6‐diaminopyridine) (PDAP) was used as solid state‐ion selective electrode for determination of mercury. The electrooxidation of monomer 2, 6 diaminopyridine (DAP) onto CG was accomplished from the 30 mM DAP in 5% H 2 SO 4 and 0.5 M ZnSO 4 . The electrode displayed Nernstian response with slope of 28.4±1 mV decade −1 in concentration range of 1×10 −6 to 1×10 −1 M and in solution of pH 3–5. The limit of detection for electrode was 3×10 −8 M with response time of 25 s. The electrode was also suitable as an indicator electrode in the potentiometric titration of Hg 2+ with iodide.
