A Versatile Environmental Impedimetric Sensor for Ultrasensitive Determination of Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) and Highly Toxic Inorganic Ions.

ABSTRACT: An impedimetric sensor for persistent toxic substances, including organic pollutants and toxic inorganic ions is presented. The persistent toxic substances are detected using an ultrasensitive technique that is based on electron-transfer blockage. This depends on the formation of guest-host complexes, hydrogen bonding, or a cyclodextrin (CD)-metal complex (M_m(OH)_n-β-CD) structure between the target pollutants and β-CD.
