Abstract
The following will demonstrate that metal colloids, usually known in the fi eld of catalysis, can also be used as sensor-active layers on a quartz micr obalance. A systematic screening showed that these sensors can be excellent ly used for the detection of various volatile organic substances. Their gre at advantage is their long time stability as well as the possibility of fin e tuning the sensor by altering the three parameters metal, ligand and thei r proportion.
