Abstract

A review, with 24 refs., is given on conceptual aspects of how mol. wires (conjugated polymers) can be used to amplify mol. chemosensors. The properties that are responsible are universal and can be utilized in a multitude of schemes. The sensitivity and diversity available suggest that these materials will be important for future sensor technologies. [on SciFinder(R)]
