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.
Claims18
A sensor comprising:
- a conductive region including a carbon nanotube in electrical communication with at least two electrodes, the conductive region including a conductive material and an alkene-interacting metal complex, wherein the alkene-interacting metal complex includes a metal macrocycle complex including a non-coordinating anion capable of forming a stable complex by reaction with an alkene and reacts with the alkene to produce a chemiresistive response in the conductive region.
