3.7. Conclusion
Anthrylpolyamines have proven to be a synthetically accessible yet rich source of chemosensors for a variety of ionic species in aqueous solution. The challenges that present themselves for future research in this field are intimately related to the potential applications of such compounds. Selectivity (metal ion versus anion versus proton) will continue to be of the greatest interest. It must be appreciated, however, that absolute selectivity is a theoretical impossibility; thus, useful selectivity ranges will be defined for particular applications. Excitation and emission wavelengths can, in principle, be engineered to avoid background absorption or autofluorescence; again, the range of usefulness must be defined prior to compound design. Down the road, the coupling of chemosensor with fiber optic methods to make remote sensing devices will create a whole new regime of questions relating to sensing on surfaces. All these issues, sitting resolutely at the interfaces of synthesis, coordination chemistry, and photochemistry, await definition and resolution.
