Applications of Luminescent Transition Platinum Group Metal Complexes to Sensor Technology and Molecular Probes

Abstract Luminescent transition metal complexes are currently revolutionizing many areas of photochemistry and photophysics. In particular, they are proving useful as molecular probes and sensors. We discuss the design consideration in producing useful sensors and probes. As we show, complexes are amenable to rational design. Applications of inorganic complexes to a variety of sensor technologies are discussed. In addition, problem areas such as sensor–support interactions are covered.
