A coated surface-acoustic-wave (SAW) sensor is used to probe the reaction of styrene vapor with the square-planar platinum-ethylene pi-complex, trans-PtCl2(ethylene)(pyridine). A dual-SAW delay-line oscillator configuration is employed: one oscillator is coated with a solvent-cast film of the solid platinum-ethylene complex dispersed in a poly(isobutylene) matrix, and the second oscillator is coated only with polymer. Absorbed styrene vapor displaces ethylene to form the stable styrene-substituted complex, trans-PtCl2(styrene)(pyridine), causing a decrease in the oscillator frequency from the increase of mass on the surface of the sensor. For short-term exposures, there is a linear relationship between the logarithm of the rate of frequency change and the logarithm of the styrene vapor concentration, consistent with a power-law kinetic model for the heterogeneous trapping reaction. Deviation from this relationship above 300 ppm at 25 degrees C is attributed to the onset of multilayer adsorption of styrene at the surface of the trapping reagent. The sensor response exhibits an Arrhenius temperature dependence permitting estimation of the thermal activation energy for the olefin-substitution reaction. Calculated detection limits of 3 and 0.6 ppm of styrene vapor are achieved for operation at 25 and 40 degrees C, respectively.
