Molecular recognition by self‐assembled monolayers detected with surface plasmon resonance

Abstract

Self‐assembled monolayers containing cavitand recognition sites have been used for the first time as an interface for vapor detection using surface plasmon resonance (SPR). Fast response times ( t 90% < 1 s) and high sensitivity for tetrachloroethylene over other chlorinated hydrocarbons were measured with a monolayer of the resorcin[4]arene cavitand adsorbate shown in the Figure. magnified image
