Rh (I) and Pd (II) catalysts were used to prepare humidity sensitive organometallic polymers pre- pared from N , N -dimethylproparylamine (DMPA) or the corresponding chlorohydrate (DMPA HCl) as monomers. Pristine and iodine doped polymers were characterized and their sensing properties were investigated and here discussed. The responses to relative humidity and short alcohols variations of sen- sors based on these polymeric membranes were investigated. An interesting response towards methanol and ethanol was found. Long term stability, fast response time and resistance to high humidity atmo- sphere, were achieved.
