In order to construct highly sensitive and stable QCM gas sensor, we present an innovative strategy. Firstly, we employ a physical vapor deposition (PVD) method to coat a thin layer of copper on the surface of QCM silver electrode. Then, a novel metal complex as sensing material, [Cu(DDS)(2)(Cl)(2)(MeOH)(2)] is grown in-situ on the copper layer to ensure a strong coupling between metal complex sensing materials and QCM electrode. The sensing material is characterized through following instruments: elemental analysis, single crystal XRD, SEM, PXRD, IR spectra and TGA. The sensing test results indicate that the QCM sensor exhibit high sensitivity and selectivity toward gaseous formaldehyde because of a reversible interaction between amino group and HCHO molecule. The detection limit reaches down to 50 ppb. This implies the facile-fabricated sensor has a great potential in the area of rapid, stable, sensitive, and selective formaldehyde on-site detection. Based on the temperature-varying micro-gravimetric experiment, enthalpy change is quantitatively obtained, which indicates that the interaction between the complex and HCHO molecules belongs to chemical adsorption. The values of Delta H calculated by Gaussian 09 indicate that chemical adsorption between -NH2 group and aldehyde group play a leading role in detecting selectively formaldehyde gas.
