Twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) is an electron transfer process that occurs
upon photoexcitation in molecules that usually consist of a donor and acceptor part linked by …

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 …

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 …

This review will cover the developments in the chemistry of phenanthroline-based ligands in
the last 10–15 years. 1, 10-Phenanthroline (phen) is a classic ligand in coordination …

A simple and easily synthesized fluorescent and colorimetric chemosensor 1, based on
juloidine-imidazole moieties as a binding and signaling unit, has been synthesized in a one …

Metal ions play a very important role in environmental as well as biological fields. The
detection of specific metal ions at a minute level caught much attention, and hence, several …

Surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is one of the most straightforward applications
of the so‐called nanoplasmonics. This powerful molecular spectroscopy technique is based …

We present a rare example of Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework-8 (ZIF-8), Zn (MeIM)
2•(DMF)•(H2O) 3, as luminescent probes with multi-function sensitivity to detect metal ions …

Fluorometric/Colorimetric chemosensors have played a compelling role in the precise
detection of metal ions in recent years owing to benefits such as specificity, economy, rapid …
