ABSTRACT
Supramolecular materials are architectures consisting of molecules that are able to self-assemble into larger constructs. The most famous representatives of the supramolecular materials are MOFs, zeolites, cavitands, and metallo-complexes. In this chapter we give a description of cavitands and metallo-complexes. This description includes characterization of cavitands and metallo-complexes, features of its synthesis, and analysis of humidity sensors developed based on these materials. It is shown that cavitands and metallo-complexes have both advantages and disadvantages for application in humidity sensors. Approaches to improving sensor parameters are considered as well.
