Lighting the Way: Supramolecular Luminescent Chemosensors for a Safer Environment

In this Guest Editorial, the special issue of ChemistryEurope on supramolecular luminescent chemosensors (LCs) is presented, showcasing selected contributions from members of the COST Action LUCES (CA22131). LCs are a versatile means to sensitively and selectively detect pollutants and biologically relevant molecules. Recent advances in this rapidly growing field include molecular receptors and nanostructured assemblies, as well as device integration and data‐driven sensing. Articles in this issue highlight a range of innovations within European collaborations fostered by LUCES, demonstrating the Action's focus on translating fundamental findings from the laboratory into real‐life solutions to environmental and societal needs.
