To date, synthesis and study of luminophores with practically significant sensory characteristics are the most promising direction of the oligopyrrole dyes chemistry. The results of sensory characteristics study of zinc(II) and boron(III) bis(dipyrromethenate)s to the various analytes presence in solutions and gas mixtures are discussed in this mini-review. The main aim of the mini-review is to examine the causes and mechanisms of the spectral signal of zinc(II) bis(dipyrromethenate)s to the presence of various nature analytes. The prospects of applications of fluorescent sensors based on zinc(II) and boron(III) bis(dipyrromethenate)s are discussed.
