“…[29][30][31][32][33] Consequently,o rganic receptors with neutral binding, sites such as urea/thiourea, amide pyrrole, aminopyrrole, indole andh ydroxyl groups, [27,28,[34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46] with cationic units, such as ammonium, quinolinium, imidazolium andg uanidinium salts, [47][48][49][50][51] and sensors with active methylene groups [52][53][54] have been used for anion detection. In addition, anion-induced reactions, such as desilylation [55,56] and nucleophilic interactions, [57][58][59][60][61] have also been used for the anion detection. Many anion sensors have been utilised for significant applications, such as detection of cancer cells, [62] determination of percentage composition in binary solvent mixtures, [63] detection of water contaminants, [53,54] anion-detecting strips [64,65] and smart molecules.…”
