The assembly, structure, composition and sensing properties of novel bisdithiocarbamate based gold nanoparticle networks have been investigated. The sensing properties have been studied with vapors of toluene, 1-propanol, water, and 4-methyl-2-pentanone. We demonstrated that bisdithiocarbamates based chemiresistive sensors show sensing properties versus volatile organic compounds (VOC) comparable to thiol based composites but that they are superior in their long term stability.
