Crown ethers 35–37 have proved effective probes for monovalent cations. The tetrameric TPE derivative 35 shows a fluorescence enhancement in response to K+, forming a 1:2 35·K+ complex in which each cation is sandwiched between two crown ether units [112]. The BODIPY-based systems 36 and 37 respond to Cs+ [113].
