The synthesis of the fluorescent photoinduced electron transfer (PET) chemosensors 1-3 for bis-anions such as bis-carboxylates and pyrophosphate in organic solvents is described herein. These sensors are based on the receptor-spacer-fluorophore-spacer-receptor motif where the receptors are charge neutral aromatic thiourea
