Abstract
The present invention provides a device for selective molecular recognition, the device comprising a sensing portion, wherein said sensing portion includes a substrate having coated thereon a layer comprising a dendrimeric compound having:(1) a core portion;(2) at least one unsaturated arms extending radially from the core portion; and(3) at least one halogen substituted alcohol substituted at the terminus, the interior, or both of each;The device is used to detect the molecules of a hydrogen bond accepting vapor such as organophosphorus or nitroaromatic species.
