Described are metal complexes for the selective detection of ascorbic acid or ascorbate. The metal complexes act as molecular sensors, and are useful in detecting ascorbate in live biological samples, commercial samples, or both. The selective ascorbate sensing involves an ascorbate-selective bond cleavage reaction. The bond cleavage is not limited to the construction of molecular sensors, but also includes other stimuli-responsive materials, i.e., materials that adopt a physical state, such as gel formation, upon ascorbate-selective bond cleavage of the metal complexes.
