Osmium–terpyridine complexes linked with stilbene-coupled naphthalene, anthracene, and pyrene moieties act as multichannel sensors for F− and Hg2+via non-classical interactions

Luminescent Os( ii )–terpyridine complexes coupled with stilbene-appended naphthalene, anthracene and pyrene motifs act as multichannel sensors for F − and Hg 2+ via the interplay of various non-classical interactions.
