Abstract :
Thin films of metalloporphyrins have been used as sensing materials for the development of optical sensors devoted to the detection of different volatile organic compounds (VOC). Absorption spectra of thin films showed remarkable changes after interactions with analytes. The development of a measurement set-up is discussed and the results obtained in the context of VOC´s detection are reported.
