“…A large variety of chemosensors, based on supramolecular chemistry and nanotechnologic approaches, have been developed in recent years aiming to find solutions for analytical problems associated with the visual and quantitative detection of various chemical species, which are important in several fields, being involved in chemical, industrial, biomedical, and environmental processes. − The conception of a chemosensor for a particular chemical species is based on the study of an adequate receptor unit, linked by means of a spacer or through noncovalent interactions to a signalizing unit. While the recognition of the target analyte occurs at the receptor site, the signalizing unit is responsible for the detection of the recognized species.…”
