An abiotic receptor and its Cu(II) complex as selective 'turn-off' chemosensor for bisulfate ion

Hydrogen bond regulated hydrogen sulfate ion recognition: an overview

Hydrogen sulfate possesses substantial biological importance, having a colossal impact on physiological and environmental events. Therefore, several scientific groups have devoted serious effort to the development of versatile colorimetric and fluorimetric HSO4- sensors. Along with the scope, challenges, and significance, this review emphasizes the advancement of the optical recognition of HSO4- based on hydrogen bonding during the past two decades. Moreover, hydrogen-bond-driven proton transfer, ESIPT, ICT, PET, CHEF, and TBET mechanisms that allow for the optical detection of HSO4- are also discussed concisely. The foundation of this review includes the key points of the sensing process, like the nature of spectroscopic changes, selectivity and sensitivity, naked-eye color changes, the reusability of sensors, and the in vivo detection of HSO4-, if any. Special attention is focused on the correlation between the photophysical changes and the underlying interaction mechanisms that triggered the recognition aspect.
