New sensory materials based on polymer–transition metal hybrids are reported. It is demonstrated that by tuning the redox potential of the organic backbone—which is based on cobalt‐containing N , N ′‐ethylenebis(salicylidenimide) (salen) complexes such as those shown in the Figure—high conductivity and high sensitivity to coordinating ligands can be achieved.
