In2O3 and metal-doped (Ni or Ce) In2O3 mesoporous three-dimensional (3D) nanospheres arrays were synthesized via nanocasting using mesoporous silica as hard templates. Effects of Ni or Ce doping on the structure, optical and gas-sensing properties of the In2O3 nanospheres were investigated. Both the undoped and the doped In2O3 nanospheres showed single-phase structure without any impurity. The nanospheres were about 20[Formula: see text]nm in size and they stacked closely to form rigid 3D mesoporous structure. A change in the value of optical band gap was observed upon metal doping. The room temperature photo luminescence behavior also showed some differences between pure and doped In2O3. Compared with pure In2O3 nanospheres, the metal-doped In2O3 exhibited superior response, fast recovery and good selectivity to ethanol. The enhanced gas-sensing properties might be related to the doping of metal ion and its effective contribution towards the oxygen vacancies, conductivity and crystallite size of the grains.

Octa-substituted metallophthalocyanines [M = Ni(II), Zn(II), Co(II), and Cu(II)] carrying 3,4-dialkoxyphenyl tosylamino groups at the peripheral positions have been synthesized from 1,2-dicyano-4,5-bis[(3,4-dialkoxyphenyl-tosylamino)methyl]benzene in the presence of the corresponding anhydrous metal salt. Next to the metal ion center, the length of the alkyl chains in the dialkoxyphenyl moiety ([Formula: see text], 5, 6, and 12) was varied. In total, sixteen soluble phthalocyanines have been characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR and [Formula: see text]H-NMR spectroscopy as well as mass spectrometry. Furthermore, the gas sensing properties of these new compounds have been studied using quartz crystal microbalance transducers. The sensing properties are described on the basis of sensor responses to nine different test analytes comprising volatile organic compounds, toxic gases, and chemical warfare agent simulants. The influence of the metal ion center and substituents on sensor selectivity and sensitivity is discussed. The compounds show good performance in the gas-sensing experiments with diverse responses to the analytes. Phthalocyanine species with pronounced selectivity for polar analytes, hydrocarbons or amines have been identified among the set of sensors with the help of multivariate data exploration methods. The results reveal that quite a high diversity in terms of selectivity is introduced through the minute variations to the phthalocyanine structure.
