Heightened senses ! Anions such as fluoride play essential roles in human health; however, with increased industrialisation, many anions are becoming pollutants. As such, there is a continued need for the development of safe and efficient techniques for the detection and removal of these anions from the environment. The research summarised here focused on the synthesis of organic receptors for the detection of anions and their different application.
