“…Fluorescence turn-on probes have acquired more attention than titrimetric, electrochemical, and ion chromatography methods for sensing these anions because of their high sensitivity, selectivity, and appropriate application in bioimaging. − Many chromogenic and fluorogenic sensors for these anions have been reported in previous years. Various modes of interactions such as CN – coordination, hydrogen bonding interactions, deprotonation, , and nucleophilic reactivity − have been incorporated to monitor cyanide ions, whereas cleavage of the alkoxyl bond (R–O), − cleavage of the S–O bond, , Michael addition, , displacement from metal ion complexes, − and reduction of azide − and nitro groups − have been utilized for the detection of sulfide, hydrosulfide ions, and hydrogen sulfide. Nowadays, the development of a multi-ion-responsive unimolecular system is one of the principal interests and not an easy task in the chemosensor field. , Among the different modes of host–guest interactions, the nucleophilic addition of anions exhibits more advantages than those of other methods such as reactivity in aqueous medium, neutral to basic pH, etc., but the main drawback is the poor selectivity due to the interference of other anions.…”
