Organic Pollutants: A Versatile Environmental Impedimetric Sensor for Ultrasensitive Determination of Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) and Highly Toxic Inorganic Ions (Adv. Sci. 5/2015)

Abstract

An impedimetric sensor for persistent toxic substances, including organic pollutants and toxic inorganic ions is presented by X.‐J. Huang in article number 1500013 based on electron‐transfer blockage, depending on the formation of guest–host complexes, hydrogen bonding, or a cyclodextrin (CD)‐metal complex structure between the target pollutants and β‐CD.
