Because there are many reports concerning TRF measurement in immunoassays [5-9], we focus herein on the use of rare earth complexes as luminescent chemosensors and bioimaging probes. 

Owing to the unique process of ligand-sensitized lanthanide luminescence emission, the design principle of lanthanide complex-based chemosensors is distinct from that of organic chemosensors [28]. As shown in Figure 13.4, lanthanide-based luminescent chemosensors...

Anions, such as fluoride, chloride, and phosphate, play critical roles in a range of biological processes and are implicated in a number of diseased states, ranging from fluorosis to cystic fibrosis [41]. Therefore, the exploitation of new luminescent chemosensors for anions is very important. The main design approach for lanthanide complexes as luminescent chemosensors for anions is to utilize the specific interaction between the anions and the lanthanide ion to realize the detection of the anions.

Zinc (Zn +) is the second most abundant metal ion after iron in the human body, and plays critical roles in regulating gene expression, enzyme regulation, and neurotransmission [90]. Zn + is also known to be responsible for the formation of amyloid plaques during the onset of Alzheimer s disease [91], At present, there is considerable interest in the development of Zn +-selective luminescence chemosensors as bioimaging probes [92, 93],...
