“…While these interactions are common, they are typically weak, which can be exploited in the generation of a sensor that is both sensitive and reversible in its response, as release of the analytes should occur readily. Finally, others have recently investigated porphyrins and related classes of metal ligand complexes as potential chlorocarbon sensors [27,28]. While the affinity for aliphatic chlorocarbons is quite low, these analytes still are electron rich and have the potential to interact with the metalloporphyrins.…”
