Abstract:		"This work designs the synthesis of a novel amino morpholine schiff base functionalized calix[4]arene cage (SCC), its deposition onto Quartz Crystal Microbalance (QCM) crystal surface, and usage for the selective detecting of formaldehyde (HCHO). The SCC modified QCM sensor has been characterized by contact angle measurements and microscopy images. Initial experiments revealed that the frequency response decreased significantly which means that there was a good interaction between the SCC molecules and HCHO. The proposed sensor exhibited a linear response towards HCHO in different concentrations ranging from 1.85 to 9.25 ppm, having the high sensitivity (S) and low limit of detection (LOD) being 18.324 Hz/ppm and 0.67 ppm, respectively. Furthermore, the adsorption behavior and mechanism of HCHO onto the QCM sensor were investigated for this sensing system and the adsorption data exhibited a good correlation with the Freundlich and Langmuir-Freundlich adsorption models in terms of the regression coefficient. The QCM sensor showed outstanding selective performance to HCHO among %97 RH and some a number of interfering volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as chloroform, dichloromethane, acetone, n-hexane, methanol, xylene, and ammonia. Thus, real-time, sensitive, selective and effective recognition of HCHO by the sensor can be explained some adsorption mechanisms such as size-fit concept, three-dimensional structures of molecules and interaction between moieties of the sensible film layer and analyte molecules such as hydrogen bonding interactions"
