Direct gravimetric sensing of GBL by a molecular recognition process in organic cage compounds.
Organic cages were identified as highly potent affinity materials for the tracing of γ-butyrolactone. The selectivity over ethanol and water is based on the interior functional groups which allow preferential hydrogen bonding to the target analyte.
