Effective anion sensing based on the ability of copper to affect electron transport across self-assembled monolayers.
The ability of copper ions to affect the charge-transfer resistance of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of a tris-(2-pyridylmethyl)amine-based ligand on to gold electrodes is used to create a novel, sensitive and selective electrochemical cyanide sensor.
