“…The colorimetric and fluorometric sensing of cations is an area of intense current interest. Various review contributions based on conventional organic chemosensors through metal coordination, [1][2][3] including Schiff-bases, 4,5 host-guest supramolecular chemistry, 6 including macrocycles as ion-pair receptors 7 and calixarenes, 8 aggregation-induced emission, 9 luminescent coordination polymers, 10 metal-organic frameworks, 11 metal nanoparticles, 12,13 quantum dots, 13 and sensing arrays, 14 or involving a chemodosimetric approach, 15,16 have been reported in the recent literature (regarding the last decade). This huge amount of research activity highlights the breadth and interest of this research field.…”
