Recognizing nobility : The photoconduction of cetineites, crystalline nanoporous oxoselenoantimonates, is suppressed by the adsorption of noble gases. The gas uptake decreases with increasing atomic radius of the noble gas, leading to a smaller change in resistance upon adsorption. Thus, cetineites can be applied in noble‐gas detection.
