title: Pattern-based sensing with simple metal-dye complexes.
abstract: Different strategies for the creation of optical sensors with metal-dye complexes are discussed. The focus is on sensors, which are used in conjunction with pattern recognition protocols. It is shown that remarkably powerful sensors can be obtained by combining commercially available dyes with simple transition metal complexes.
