Abstract
Silicon phthalocyanines (SiPcs) are a versatile class of organic semiconductors for applications in or-ganic thin film transistors (OTFTs) and organic photovoltaics (OPVs) due to their simple synthesis, easy tunability and high charge transport characteristics. Herein, a novel class of electropolymerized SiPcs have been synthesized and incorporated in both mass-based and conductometric sensors. The results indicated that not only were both sensor types successful in recognizing various gases and volatile organic compounds, but partial selectivity was also achieved in the conductometric sensors with high sensitivity for CO₂ and trimethylamine gases.
