“…Although, research in recent years has produced relevant advances in the development of optical HSO 4 − and AcO − chemosensors based on different strategies, such as organic compounds containing amide, amine, phenol, hydrazone, pyrrole, urea, imidazole, flavone, triazole, indole and thiourea together with positively charged subunits (imidazolium, guanidinium, pyridinium) that are capable of providing H‐bond donors to recognize anions, these available organic chemosensors have some limitations such as low hydro‐stability, low water solubility, and insufficient selectivity or sensitivity [19–56] . Another strategy is based on the design of metal complex chemosensors, since the presence of the metal ion not only provides additional binding sites for the guest anion but also structurally pre‐organizes the binding sites for optimal anion‐binding via hydrogen bonding and metal ion coordination, resulting in a strong affinity when are compared to purely organic chemosensors [57–68] .…”
