Ammonia and Humidity Sensing by Phthalocyanine-Corrole Complex Heterostructure Devices.

ABSTRACT: The versatility of metal complexes of corroles has raised interest in the use of these molecules as elements of chemical sensors. The tuning of the macrocycle properties via synthetic modification of the different components of the corrole ring, such as functional groups, the molecular skeleton, and coordinated metal, allows for the creation of a vast library of corrole-based sensors. However, the scarce conductivity of most of the aggregates of corroles limits the development of simple conductometric sensors and requires the use of optical or mass transducers that are rather more cumbersome and less prone to be integrated into microelectronics systems. To compensate for the scarce conductivity, corroles are often used to functionalize the surface of conductive materials such as graphene o
