Abstract Copper is the third most abundant and a crucial metal for the biological processes. But, excessive accumulation of copper in body is linked with several disorders. In this article, recent advances (in between 2018-2020) on small molecule-based fluorescent sensors for the detection of Cu2+ ion have been reviewed. The probes working on the principle of internal charge transfer (ICT), paramagnetic effect and aggregation induced emission (AIE) are covered. Molecular design, sensitivity and the specificity of the sensors have been focused along with their applications.
