In this paper, we employed a  b-cyclodextrin derivative surface acoustic wave (SAW) chemical sensor for detecting the chemical warfare agents (CWAs) sarin (O-Isoprophyl methylphosphonofluoridate, GB). Using sarin acid (isoprophyl hydrogen methylphosphonate) as an imprinting  template, mono[6-deoxy-6-[(mercaptodecamethylene)thio]]-\u03b2-cyclodextrin was prepared by self-assembled method on one of the SAW oscillators. After templates\u2019 removal, a sensitive and selective molecular imprinting (MIP) monolayer for GB was prepared. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and atomic force microscope (AFM) were used to characterize this film. Comparing the detection results to GB by MIP film and non-MIP film, the molecularly imprinting effect was also proved. The resulting SAW sensor could detect sarin as low as 0.10 mg\/m3 at room temperature and the frequency shift was about 300 Hz. The response frequency increased linearly with increasing sarin concentration in the range of 0.7 mg\/m3~3.0 mg\/m3. When sarin was detected under different temperatures, the SAW sensor exhibited outstanding sensitivity and reliability.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s150817916","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,7,23]],"date-time":"2015-07-23T10:06:15Z","timestamp":1437645975000},"page":"17916-17925","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Selective Surface Acoustic Wave-Based Organophosphorus Sensor Employing a Host-Guest Self-Assembly Monolayer of \u03b2-Cyclodextrin Derivative"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Yong","family":"Pan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of NBC Protection for Civilian, Yangfang, Changping District,  Beijing 102205, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ning","family":"Mu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of NBC Protection for Civilian, Yangfang, Changping District,  Beijing 102205, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shengyu","family":"Shao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of NBC Protection for Civilian, Yangfang, Changping District,  Beijing 102205, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Liu","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of NBC Protection for Civilian, Yangfang, Changping District,  Beijing 102205, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wen","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Acoustic, Chinese Academy of Science, Zhongguancun Street, Haidian District,  Beijing 100080, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xiao","family":"Xie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Acoustic, Chinese Academy of Science, Zhongguancun Street, Haidian District,  Beijing 100080, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shitang","family":"He","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Acoustic, Chinese Academy of Science, Zhongguancun Street, Haidian District,  Beijing 100080, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,7,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"166","DOI":"10.4103\/0975-7406.68498","article-title":"Chemical warfare agents","volume":"2","author":"Ganesan","year":"2010","journal-title":"J.
