Abstract
The development of colorimetric and fluorescent sensors continues apace. In this review, we highlight developments made in this area from 2020 to 2022. The review is structured by the different non-covalent interactions used to bind anions in addition to covering photoswitchable systems, excimers and molecular logic gates, and arrays for anion sensing.
