Synthesis, design and electrochemical properties of Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films built of bis(pyrrolyl)fluorene

The synthesis, characterization, electropolymerization, electrical and sensing properties of LB films of mono- and dihexadecyl-bis(pyrrolyl)fluorene derivatives are reported. Different responses to different gases at various concentrations obtained for mono- and disubstituted derivatives of bis(pyrrolyl)fluorene make these materials a very good candidates for elements of gas sensing devices of the different type of an artificial nose or a neuronic network.
