Abstract:
The development of new optical anion chemosensors with high sensitivity and selectivity is very important, since anions possess some fundamental roles in a wide range of biological and chemical processes. The displacement approach is a method using anion binding sites and signaling subunits, which are not covalently attached but forming a coordination complex, in which the presence of anions revives the noncoordinated spectroscopic behavior of the indicator. In the past five years, according to the displacement strategy, many good optical anion chemosensors have been successfully obtained. This paper reviews the recent progress in the field of the fluorescent and colorimetric anion chemosensors designed according to the displacement strategy (mainly from 2008 to 2011), and gives some outlooks for the further exploration of new optical anion chemosensors.

EDTA: Direct, Back-, and Displacement Titration
Direct titration involves buffering the metal ion solution to the desired pH and directly titrating with standard EDTA until the endpoint. The optimum pH ensures a large conditional formation constant of metal−EDTA and visibility of the free indicator color in the solution. In addition, auxiliary complexing reagents are used to prevent the precipitation of metal hydroxides and...
