NOVEL ANTHRACENYL-IMINO GLUCOSYL-CONJUGATE AND A METHOD OF SELECTIVELY TESTING THE PRESENCE OF HG2+ THEREWITH

摘要

Novel anthracenyl-imino glucosyl-conjugate and a method of selectively testing the presence of Hg2+ therein This invention relates to anthracenyl imino glucosyl conjugate of formula I This compound is capable of sensing the presence of Hg2+ ions in sample by "turn on fluorescence with about 13 fold enhancement. Presence of other metallic ions and proteins in the sample does not affect the efficacy of this compound in exhibiting fluorescence.
