There is great need for stand-alone luminescence-based chemosensors that exemplify
selectivity, sensitivity, and applicability and that overcome the challenges that arise from …

Chemical sensing using indicators, or chemosensor, has rapidly developed over the past
decades. Its chemistry covers a wide range of scientific fields, in which analytical and …

Supramolecular optical chemosensors are abiotic molecular devices that bind analytes by
noncovalent interactions, producing a change in light absorption or fluorescence. This …

Recently, fluorescent or colorimetric chemosensors based on polymers have attracted great
attention due to several important advantages, such as their simplicity of use, signal …

The need to develop sensors for different target analytes is well-recognised and confirmed
by the considerable research efforts spent for the preparation of more and more efficient …

The fluorescence of organic molecules depends sensitively on their environment.
Fluorescent dyes have accordingly become popular molecular probes not only to determine …

The field of supramolecular chemistry has been flourishing since J.-M. Lehn, DJ Cram, and
CJ Pedersen were awarded the 1987 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. By Prof. Lehn's definition, 1 …

The past ten years have seen a spectacular development of chemical sensors based on the
monomer–excimer dual luminescence of aromatic systems, such as pyrene. Either in the …

Supramolecular analytical chemistry has emerged as a new discipline at the interface of
supramolecular and analytical chemistry. It focuses on analytical applications of molecular …

Nature has endowed human beings with many useful functions, by virtue of supramolecular
chemistry. As is well-known, nature can self-assemble relatively small molecular precursors …
