Abstract: The field of chemical sensing is becoming ever more dependent upon novel materials. Polymers, crystals, glasses, particles, and nanostructures have made a profound impact and have endowed modern sensory systems with superior performance. Electronic polymers have emerged as one of the most important classes of transduction materials; they readily transform a chemical signal into an easily measured electrical or optical event. Although our group reviewed this field in 2000,1 the high levels of activity and the impact of these methods now justify a subsequent review as part of this special issue. In this review we restrict our discussions to purely fluorescence-based methods using conjugated polymers (CPs). We further confine our detailed coverage to articles published since our previous review and will only detail earlier research in this Introduction to illustrate fundamental concepts and terminology that underpin the recent literature.

Luminescent chemosensors for transition metal ions
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a review of the chemical systems able to act as luminescent chemosensors for this class of metal ions, since some of them are present in biological systems in trace amounts and, at the same time, they can represent an environmental concern when present in uncontrolled amounts.
