Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, the development of chemical sensors that can recognize and sense environmentally- and biologically-important species has emerged as a significant target in the field. In the past decade, anions have played important roles in a wide range of chemical and biological processes; they have become a target of investigation, aimed at sensor development due to their drawbacks in excessive amount. Thus, there have been many methods developed to assess the levels of ions in drinking water and wastes from the refinement process. The design of functionalized organic luminescent receptors that serve as selective chemosensors has gained great interest regardless of the difficulties associated with the similarities of the anions and/or biological molecules. Nevertheless, organic luminescent materials make an ideal candidate for promising applications in biological analytes and environmental monitoring due to their optical and luminescent properties make them easy to detect ions. This Special Issue focused on organic luminescent materials and molecular recognition which illustrating the suitability of newly developed sensors for fluorescent analysis applications, as well as describing novel molecular recognition in solving real life analytical problems.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Sensors is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
