Due to the vast applications of salicylate ion, development of a simple and selective procedure for its determination is of practical interest. Herein, the unique properties of graphene oxide are combined with the anion selectivity of metalloporphyrins to construct a novel salicylate selective electrode. This electrode is prepared by incorporating Cu(II)–5-4 (aminophenyl)-10,15,20-triphenyl porphyrin grafted-grapheneoxide (CuTPP-GO) into the plasticized poly (vinyl chloride) membrane. Effects of plasticizer nature, Cu TPP-GO concentration and anionic and cationic additives on the potential response of the electrode are investigated. The electrode with the membrane composition of 25% PVC, 50% NPOE, 5% NaTPB and 20% Cu TPP-GO provided the best behavior. This sensor shows a Nernstian response (57.8 mV.decade-1) in the concentration range of 5.0 × 10-1–5.0 × 10-7M with detection limit of 8.0 × 10-8M. sensor response is stable in the pH range of 5–7 and shows a discriminating ability for salicylate compared to most common anions. The sensor was successfully used for determination of salicylate in an aspirin tablet.
