A Selective "Turn‐On" Fluorescent Probe for Recognition of Mercury(II) Ions in Aqueous Solution Based on a Desulfurization Reaction. Issue 7 (5th June 2013) - Yan, Yuanyuan
Abstract Turn me on: A new "turn‐on" 1, 8‐naphthalimide‐type chemosensor 1 has been prepared and exhibited high selectivity and sensitivity towards Hg2+ ions over other heavy‐ and transition‐metal ions in aqueous solution, accompanied by the transformation of a weakly fluorescent thiourea moiety (colorless) to a highly fluorescent urea one (green) with an increase in fluorescence intensity.
