A luminescent sensor for anions is described by J. A. Thomas, S. L. Heath, A. J. H. M. Meijer et al. on page 2188 ff. The sensor is composed of a heterometallic self‐assembled macrocycle that has a palmate anion‐binding pocket. Host–guest studies carried out in organic solvents reveal that the macrocycle functions as a luminescent sensor for anions, and the binding affinity and luminescent modulation are dependent on the structural nature and charge of the guest anion.
