There is disclosed probes bearing partial metal chelators that in some embodiments are conformationally constrained. In certain embodiments such probes are useful in methods for the detection of a specific target molecule. These target molecules may include oligonucleotides, peptides, proteins, polysaccharides, or small molecules. There is further disclosed the use of probes with partial metal chelators engaged in a coordination complex with one another that imposes a structural constraint in the probe and increases the specificity factor of the probe.
