Supramolecular Surface Functionalised Materials for CWA Detection
Abstract
Supramolecular approaches to chemical warfare agent (CWA) detection offer much in terms of analytical specificity. Molecular films/present a means of bringing such host-guest efficacy to platforms which are portable, highly sensitive and additionally enjoy the benefits of surface imposed pre-organization When married to highly sensitive electrochemical detection methods, these approaches present a step change in our ability to detect CWA s in an ultrasensitive, portable and specific manner. This proposal is concerned with the development of supramolecular surface functionalized materials that contain hydrogen bonding and halogen bonding receptor decorated carbon (graphene) and metallic interfaces which are capable of the electrochemical sensing of organophosphorus nerve agent simulants (OPNAS).
