1. A method for detecting the presence of an analyte in a fluid, comprising:
- providing a sensor comprising an electrode and a polymer comprising an anilineboronic acid-phosphate complex adjacent to the electrode, wherein the sensor polymer will change an electrical characteristic in the presence of the analyte in the fluid;
exposing the sensor to a fluid containing the analyte; and
detecting a response to the exposure of the sensor to the analyte present in the fluid.

Abstract
The present invention includes sensors and systems that include a sensor. A sensor includes a sensor polymer, where the polymer includes a repeating unit having an anilineboronic acid-phosphate complex or an anilineboronic acid complexed with an alcohol or diol. The sensor polymer may be a copolymer, such as a random copolymer, a block copolymer, or an alternate copolymer. The present invention also provides methods for using the sensors described herein, including methods for detecting the presence of an analyte, such as CO2, in a fluid.
