Urea and thiourea-based compounds contain nucleophilic heteroatoms such as O, S and N, allowing them to establish intra- and intermolecular hydrogen bonding and coordinate bonding. Because of this fascinating property, significant research has been performed to develop urea and thiourea containing chromofluorogenic derivatives for the recognition and detection of many environmental and biological contaminants, even when present at trace levels. This review summarizes the recently reported urea and thiourea-based small molecular chromofluorogenic chemosensors utilized for detecting diverse metal ions and anions, such as Ag+, Cu2+, Zn2+, Hg2+, Fe3+, F-, ClO-, CN-, AcO-, PO42-, and SO42-. The detection mechanisms, recognition modes, analytical innovations and potential applications in real samples of the reviewed chemosensors are discussed.

Effects of EDTA on End-Point Detection Methods
In the visual method, metal-ion indicators (metallochromic dyes), which have distinct colors in their free and complex forms, are added to the mixture to signal the titration's end point. They form stable complexes with metal ions, but these complexes are weaker than the corresponding metal–EDTA complexes. As a...
