Abstract
The review highlights the application of Layer-by-Layer (LbL) structures for the design of chemical sensors. The first part of this review focuses on atomic and molecular layer deposition from vapor phase. In the second and third parts of the review we emphasize the formation of multilayers from solutions. LbL films and LbL prepared capsules are considered as elements of sensing systems. It is shown that LbL nanostructures can significantly increase sensitivity and selectivity of sensors and biosensors. Different materials for the multilayers’ formation, deposition techniques, and mechanisms for enhancement of the sensing properties are discussed.
Keywords: Atomic and molecular layer deposition, biosensors, layer-by-layer, multilayers, sensors.

Catalytic C-H bond activation as a tool for functionalization of heterocycles
The major topic is the functionalization of heterocycles through catalyzed C-H bond activation. The strategies based on C-H activation not only provide straightforward formation of C-C or C-X bonds but, more importantly, allow for the avoidance of pre-functionalization of one or two of the cross-coupling partners. The beneficial impact of ...read more
