A gas sensing device comprising a layer of guest-free cryptophane A molecules on a substrate capable of detecting a molecular level change in mass, viscosity, or stress due to absorption of gas molecules into the cryptophane A molecules, wherein the cryptophane A molecules have the following structure: wherein R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, and R6 are independently selected from methyl and ethyl groups. Also described herein is a method for manufacturing the gas sensing device, particularly a step of sublimating cryptophane A molecules onto a suitable substrate. Also described herein is a method of detecting one or more gases in a space by placing a gas sensing device, as described above, in the space, wherein the gas sensing device transmits detection signals to an external electronic device that performs an analysis of the detection signals.
