Abstract
The gate surfaces of ion-sensitive field-effect transistor (ISFET) devices were functionalized with the π-donor units, 6-hydroxydopamine (1) or 4-aminothiophenol (2). Concentration of trinitrotoluene, TNT, on the gate via π-donor-acceptor interactions yields charge-transfer complexes that alter the gate potential. This enables the label-free analysis of TNT with a detection limit corresponding to 1 × 10-7 M.
