Abstract
It is known that metalloporphyrins exhibit good chemical sensing properties. The variation of several features and parameters (such as optical spectra, mass, conductivity) are currently exploited to obtain chemical sensors. In this paper an investigation of the variations of the work function of metalloporphyrins in presence of volatile compounds are presented and discussed. For this purpose a new designed Kelvin Probe has been utilized. The results show that the work functions is a physical parameter which can be fruitfully utilized to fabricate chemical sensors.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
