Triazine‐Based Molecules for Metal Ion Detection: A Decade of Advances

Abstract

Triazine‐based molecules have emerged as promising candidates for developing selective and sensitive chemosensors for metal ion detection. Their structural tunability facilitates the introduction of a variety of functional groups, improving their binding affinity and specificity toward a variety of metal ions. This review highlights various sensing mechanisms, including colorimetric and fluorometric methods, and provides insights into the performance of these sensors in terms of sensitivity, selectivity, and detection limits. The synthetic routes for synthesizing the chemosensors are mentioned in detail. Given their reliability and flexibility, triazine‐based sensors are poised to make significant contributions in the field of both sensor and analytical chemistry.
