Fluorescent Schiff Base Chemosensors for Selective Ion Detection: A Brief Review

Abstract

In the field of supramolecular chemistry, the detection of ions by using fluorescence and absorption techniques have gained significant importance due to their simplicity, high sensitivity and selectivity, low cost, detection limit, rapid response, and applicability to bioimaging. In recent years, Schiff-based receptors have been developed for the detection of various ions. This study mainly focuses on the fluorescent sensors which are based on Schiff base.
