Thin‐film electrochemical sensors are reported that are based on cation‐sensitive redox‐active molecules such as in the Figure (new TTF‐crown derivatives with R = C(O)O(CH 2 ) n SH or CH 2 SH) immobilized on a metal surface. The synthesis of the molecules and the self‐assembly of the monolayers are outlined. The electrochemical recognition properties in solution and as monolayers in the presence of different metal cations are described.
