Y. Sadaoka et al., OPTOCHEMICAL HCL-GAS DETECTION BASED ON ZINC TETRABROMOTETRAPHENYLPORPHYRIN DISPERSED IN ETHYL CELLULOSE, Chemistry Letters, (7), 1995, pp. 509-510
For zinc tetrabromotetraphenylporphyrin dispersed in a polymer matrix,
the absorbance at 479 nm and 722 nm is sensitive to sub-ppm levels of
HCl gas and also good reversibility is observed at room temperature.
