The strength in Numbers! Porphyrin hybrid nanostructured materials for chemical sensing

Abstract

The development of chemical sensors is an urgent need for both environmental and health issues. The breakthrough needed for the advancement of these devices is the development of efficient receptors. Porphyrins have been widely used as sensing layers in chemical sensors, but their integration with nanostructures can greatly boost the performance of these macrocycles, improving from one side the stability of the sensing layer, and from the other, offering additional interaction mechanisms with target analytes. We present here some recent examples of hybrid materials prepared by the integration of porphyrins with metal and metal oxide nanoparticles, porphyrin-based metal organic frameworks and their exploitation as sensing layers in chemical sensors.
