ABSTRACT:
An apparatus comprising a chemically sensitive sensor material, having an electrical resistance or dielectric constant which changes under the effect of the gases or vapors. According to the invention, this sensor material, which comprises either hydrophobic metal complexes, or a mixture of at least one phthalide and at least one acidic compound, serves as resistance or as dielectric material. These sensor materials change their ion mobility and/or their ionic concentration under the effect of gases or vapors, thereby changing their resistance or capacitance. The change in resistance or the change in capacitance can expediently be converted into a frequency change by a multivibrator. Thus, one obtains an especially simple and very effective sensor for gases and vapors.
