Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Fluorescent probes have emerged as powerful analytical tools in modern detection fields, with extensive applications in environmental monitoring, biomedical diagnosis, food safety, and chemical analysis. Their high sensitivity, excellent selectivity, real-time response, and visualization capability make them indispensable for the accurate detection of trace ions and various compounds. As the core of sensitive detection technology, the design, synthesis, and performance optimization of fluorescent probes are crucial for expanding their application boundaries and improving detection reliability.
The aim of this Special Issue is to gather cutting-edge fundamental and applied research on fluorescent probes for highly sensitive ion and compound detection. We welcome original research findings and review articles focusing on novel fluorescent probe materials, sensing mechanisms, and practical applications. Potential topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Novel fluorescent probe materials (e.g., carbon dots, quantum dots, organic fluorophores, metal–organic frameworks, and their nanocomposites) for ion/compound detection.
- Design and synthesis of highly selective and sensitive fluorescent probes for trace metal ions, anions, organic compounds, biological molecules, and toxic substances.
- Mechanistic studies on fluorescent sensing (e.g., fluorescence quenching, enhancement, resonance energy transfer, and charge transfer).
- Practical applications of fluorescent probes in environmental monitoring, clinical diagnosis, food inspection, and environmental remediation.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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. Chemosensors is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2000 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.
