Voltammetric or SPR based sensors for determining non - aromatic, non-planar nitramine analytes, especially RDX explosive, using pi donor-acceptor interactions, comprise a matrix network of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and electropolymerised p - aminothiophenol (PATP)with pi-donor cavities, preferably formed by template imprinting using Kemp's acid, cis - 1, 3, 5 - trimethylcyclohexane - 1, 3, 5 - tricarboxylic acid (CAS RN = 90389 -95 -0) |
