Particular cases are potassium selective potentiometric sensors based on cobalt [41] and nickel [38, 42] hexacyanoferrates. As mentioned, these hexacyanoferrates possess quite satisfactory redox activity with sodium as counter-cation [18]. According to the two possible mechanisms of such redox activity (either sodium ions penetrate the lattice or charge compensation occurs due to entrapment of anions) there is no thermodynamic background for selectivity of these sensors. In these cases electroactive films seem to operate as smart materials similar to conductive polymers in electronic noses. 

Control of alignment of n-conjugated polymers on the substrate is important for excellent performance of the polymer in electronic devices (e.g., higher mobility of carrier in field-effect transistors [134,136]). Details of the molecular structure and molecular assembly of PAEs will be discussed in other chapters.
