An understanding of the photophysical processes in metal complexes along with advances in preparative methods has led to applications of inorganic excited states in solar energy conversion, biological probes, and sensors. Our discussion in this paper focuses on principles that allow "design" of anion and cation sensors that are capable of discriminating one analyte over another based on the luminescence properties of inorganic chromophores.
