A novel conductive polymeric ionic liquid (IL)-Fe3O4 nanocomposite (represented as PIL-Fe3O4) based on inorganic-organic hybrid material was synthesized using two different methods. Nuclear magnetic resonance, Fourier transform infrared, X-ray diffraction, and field emission scanning electron microscopy characterized the structures of IL, Fe3O4 nanoparticles, and PIL-Fe3O4. The electrochemical sensors based on PIL-Fe3O4-modified glassy carbon electrode were fabricated, and each of these nanocomposites was examined for the ability to determine amlodipine besylate (AMD). The electrochemical study of the modified electrodes, as well as its efficiency for the electro-oxidation of AMD, was described in 0.1 M phosphate-buffered solution (pH 7.0) using voltammetric methods. The results exhibit a linear dynamic range from 1 to 500 nM and a detection limit of 0.36 nM. Finally, the modified electrode was used for the determination of AMD in pharmaceutical and biological samples. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
