Real-time and real-space analysis of heavy and transition metal ions employing fluorescent sensor molecules has received much attention over the past few years. Since many of these cations possess intrinsic properties that usually quench the fluorescence of organic dye molecules, a lot of research has lately been devoted to designing fluorescent probes that show complexation-induced fluorescence enhancement. Such an analytical reaction would be highly desirable in terms of increased sensitivity and selectivity. However, in this particular field of sensor research, the photophysical and photochemical mechanisms involved as well as the chemical constitutions of the sensor molecules employed are rather diverse and up to now, very few attempts have been made to establish some general concepts for rational probe design. By analyzing various systems published by other researchers as well as own work, this contribution aims at an elucidation of some of the underlying principles of heavy and transition metal ion-enhanced emission.
