Organic-transistor sensors that can detect liquid-phase organic solvents are developed via a crosslinking approach of the semiconducting layer by B. J. Kim, J. H. Oh, and co-workers on page 1540. Sensors composed of a crosslinked poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT)-azide copolymer and a calixarene derivative exhibit highly sensitive and selective sensing behaviors, owing to the selective binding effects of liquid analytes with the calixarene-functionalized P3HT, substantially extending the range of practical applications.
