3,9-Dithia-6-azaundecane-appended Iridium (III) Complex for the Selective Detection of Hg~(2+) in Aqueous Acetonitrile

摘要

Detection of mercuric ion (Hg~(2+)) originated from natural or industrial sources is very important because it is extremely toxic even at low levels and causes serious environmental and health problems.Consequently, many efforts have been devoted to the development of sensitive chemosensors for the detection of Hg~(2+). For example, various fluorescent chemosensors based on rhodamine, nitrobenzoxadiazole, fluorescein, boradiazaindacene (BODIPY), dansyl, pyrene, or other fluorophores have been developed for the selective detection of Hg~(2+).
