Very simple and sensitive electroanalytical technique based on synergistic combination of reaction electrochemistry (specificity) and bare boron-doped diamond electrode (sensitivity) for the detection of fluorides in drinking water was developed as variant based on dynamic electrochemistry to ISE analysis. It is based on the formation of electroinactive fluoride complexes with Fe(III) and Ce(IV) ions decreasing such diffusion current of free m etal on boron-doped diamond electrode. Due to low background signal of boron-doped diamond electrode reasonably low detection limits of the order of 10 (6) mol L (1) for linear sweep voltammetric method using formation of [FeF6](3) and 10 (7) mol L (1) in a square-wave variant of this technique have been achieved. This is approximately 1-2 orders lower than in the case of platinum comb-shaped interdigitated microelectrode array. Linear sweep voltammetric method based on [CeF6](2) complex formation has lower sensitivity and may be suitable for samples with higher content of fluoride and not to analysis of drinking water.
