The cyclic voltammetric studies of complex species formed in aqueous solutions between copper(II) and D-penicillamine under different experimental conditions have been made. The cyclic votammograms for the yellow copper(I)-D-penicillamine and red-violel mixed-valence copper-D-penicillamine complex are quite different from each other. The cyclic voltammetric parameters are calculated and the results are discussed.
