Abstract
A sensor can include a conductive region in electrical communication with at least two electrodes, the conductive region including a conductive material and an alkene-interacting metal complex.
Claims13
A method of sensing an analyte, comprising:
- exposing a sensor to a sample, the sensor including:
- a conductive region in electrical communication with at least two electrodes, the conductive region including a conductive material and an alkene-interacting metal complex, the alkene-interacting metal complex including a metal macrocycle complex capable of forming a stable complex with a sterically protected metal center;
- producing a chemiresistive response and regenerating the metal complex that reacts with an additional alkene;
- and
- measuring an electrical property at the electrodes.
