Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>A unique structural transformation in a 1 D chain coordination network <bold>2</bold> is converted to a discrete compound <bold>3</bold> accompanied by a change in the ion‐exchange system. Remarkably, <bold>3</bold> produced a turn‐on fluorescence and selective sensing for Hg²⁺, whereas other ions, such as K⁺, Mg²⁺, Ca²⁺, Mn²⁺, Fe²⁺, Co²⁺, Ni²⁺, Cu²⁺, Zn²⁺, and Cd²⁺, did not show any notable effects. Thus, the Hg²⁺‐selective fluorescent chemosensor was free from interference by competing metal ions.</p> </abstract>
