Cover Feature: Recent Advances in Luminescent Recognition and Chemosensing of Iodide in Water (chem. Asian J. 19/2020)

This review highlights effective strategies to iodide sensing from a structural approach where the iodide recognition/sensing process, through supramolecular interactions as coordination bonds, hydrogen bonds, halogen bonds and electrostatic interactions, is transduced into an easily measurable optical change. Selective iodide sensing is an active field of research with global interest due to the importance of iodide in biological, medicinal, industrial, environmental and chemical processes.
