• Unlimited choices of molecules: electronic
structure (color), configuration, size, shape …
• Easy to modify: chemical interactions.
• Flexible for processing: vapor, liquid/solution,
solid.
• Adaptable to various substrate.
• Cheap for manufacturing, processing,
packaging.

Ideal sensor for vapor detection
High sensitivity or low detection limit: stand-off detection (> 50 m, ideally 100 m), trace TNT (40 ppt) over buried landmines.
Fast response: seconds, porous structure and continuous channel both enhancing the penetration of gaseous molecules into the film, strong chemical interaction (sticking) at interface improving the accumulation of target molecules within the film.
Stability: thermal damage, photobleaching, thick film desired for improved stability, sustainability, reliability and reproducibility.
Selectivity: against environment interferences. Cost effective: cheap for materials and processing, flexible for
materials modification and improvement, adaptable to various substrates for device fabrication --- all can be satisfied with organic materials.
Easy to use, minimal maintenance, …
