Carbon paste electrodes, modified with podands containing more than two sulfur atoms, have been employed for the voltammetric determination of Ag(¥°) ion from aqueous solution. The voltammetric response was characterized with respect to paste composition, preconcentration method, kind of anion, variation of pH, Ag(¥°) ion concentration, and possible interferences. Linear calibration curves were obtained for Ag(¥°) ion concentration ranging from 1.0¡¿10^(-6) to 9.0¡¿10^(-5) M, and detection limit was 5.0¡¿10^(-7) M.
