The film coated glassy carbon electrode showed an electrochemical response. The factors that affect the electroactivity of the film, such as number of cycles used for the film formation and pH were studied for both Schiff bases. The effect of sulphuric acid concentrations in which the Schiff base complex is dissolved was studied. Also, the stability of the polymer film in 1 M H2SO4, 1 M NaOH and methanol-water mixture (1:1) was investigated for the case of the Ni-metal Schiff base complex. The poly-film got the least stability in methanol-water (1:1) mixture.
