Rigid, dendritic poly(paraphenylene)s (see picture) are excellently suited as sensitive and selective coatings for gravimetric sensors (quartz microbalances), since they incorporate guest molecules reversibly into their interior voids. The variety of their potential designs allows an optimal match of these multitalented hosts to the guests (analytes) to be monitored.
