This study describes the development of amperometric sensors based on poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH) and lutetium bisphthalocyanine (LuPc(2)) films assembled using the Layer-by-Layer (LbL) technique. The films have been used as modified electrodes for catechol quantification. Electrochemical measurements have been employed to investigate the catalytic properties of the LuPc(2) immobilized in the LbL films. By chronoamperometry, the sensors present excellent sensitivity (20 nA μM(-1)) in a wide linear range (R(2)=0.994) up to 900 μM and limit of detection (s/n=3) of 37.5 × 10(-8)M for catechol. The sensors have good reproducibility and can be used at least for ten times. The work potential is +0.3 V vs. saturated calomel electrode (SCE). In voltammetry measurements, the calibration curve shows a good linearity (R(2)=0.992) in the range of catechol up to 500 μM with a sensitivity of 90 nA μM(-1) and LD of 8 μM.

Ambipolar devices are a hot topic in research tables due to their unique advantage in reducing the size of the electrical system and enhancing its efficiency. Here, we report a bilayer heterojunction device constructed using octafluoro-vanadyl-phthalocyanine (VOFPc) and lutetium bisphthalocyanine (LuPc), which exhibits both p- and n-type behaviors under oxidizing (NO and O) and reducing gas (NH) species depending on the humidity level and temperature variations. The initial polarity of the device is identified as n-type by measuring a current decrease under oxygen exposure.

Gas sensors based on ambipolar materials offer significant advantages in reducing the size of the analytical system and enhancing its efficiency. Here, bilayer heterojunction devices are constructed using different octafluorinated phthalocyanine complexes, with Zn and Co as metal centers, combined with a lutetium bisphthalocyanine complex (LuPc). Stable p-type behavior is observed for the ZnFPc/LuPc device under both electron-donating (NH) and -oxidizing (NO and O) gaseous species, while the CoFPc/LuPc device exhibits n-type behavior under reducing gases and p-type behavior under oxidizing gases.

π-Extended porphyrins represent an attractive class of organic compounds because of their unique photophysical, optoelectronic, and physicochemical properties. Herein, cross-conjugated (Ace-PQ-Ni) and linear-conjugated (AM6) porphyrins are used to build double-layer heterojunction devices by combining them with a lutetium bisphthalocyanine complex (LuPc). The heterojunction effect at the porphyrin-phthalocyanine interface plays a key role in the charge transport properties.

Modulation of interfacial conductivity in organic heterostructures is a highly promising strategy to improve the performance of electronic devices. In this endeavor, the present work reports the fabrication of a bilayer heterojunction device, combining octafluoro copper phthalocyanine (CuFPc) and lutetium bis-phthalocyanine (LuPc) and tunes the charge transport at the Cu(FPc)-(LuPc) interface by aryl electrografting on the device electrode to improve the device NH-sensing properties. Dimethoxybenzene (DMB) and tetrafluoro benzene (TFB) electrografted by an aryldiazonium electroreduction method form a few-nanometer-thick organic film on ITO.

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.
