Since as early as 1867, molecular sensors have been recognized as being intelligent
“devices” capable of addressing a variety of issues related to our environment and health …

The study of the complexation of anions, from its beginnings in the late 1960s and 1970s,(1-
3) has moved on from being an area solely of academic interest to a fundamental pillar of …

Sigma–hole interactions, in particular halogen bonding (XB) and chalcogen bonding (ChB),
have become indispensable tools in supramolecular chemistry, with wide-ranging …

In recent years, the development of methods to recognize and sense biologically and
environmentally important species has emerged as a significant target in the field of …

A comprehensive review is presented on the development and state of the art of colorimetric
and fluorometric sensor arrays. Optical arrays based on chemoresponsive colorants (dyes …

Since the start of this millennium, remarkable progress in the binding and sensing of anions
has been taking place, driven in part by discoveries in the use of hydrogen bonding, as well …

This Tutorial Review provides a short survey of anion sensing by small molecule anion
receptors, molecular ensembles and chemodosimeters. The review highlights the many …

We demonstrate that rigidifying the structure of fluorescent linkers by structurally
constraining them in metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) to control their conformation …

Coordination chemistry plays an essential role in the design of photoluminescent probes for
metal ions. Metal coordination to organic dyes induces distinct optical responses which …

During the past decade, fluorescent chemosensors have become an important research
field of supramolecular chemistry and have attracted great attention because of their …
