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

The ubiquity of charged species in biological and industrial processes has resulted in ever‐
increasing interest in their selective recognition, detection, and environmental remediation …

Inspired by the success of its related sigma-hole congener halogen bonding (XB),
chalcogen bonding (ChB) is emerging as a powerful noncovalent interaction with a plethora …

Anion sensing via either optical or electrochemical readouts has separately received
enormous attention, however, a judicious combination of the advantages of both modalities …

Continuous, real-time ion sensing is of great value across various environmental and
medical scenarios but remains underdeveloped. Herein, we demonstrate the potential of …
