A new colorimetric, “turn-on” fluorescent chemosensor (DEAS-BPH) was synthesized for selective and sensitive recognition of Hg2+ ions with no interference from environmentally relevant metal ions in a mixed organo-aqueous medium.
A highly selective and sensitive fluorescent chemosensor exhibited enhanced fluorescence in the presence of Al3+ and in living cells.
We successfully designed and developed a rhodamine based “turn-on” chemosensor L for the detection of Pd2+ ions down to 1.19 × 10−5 M (11.9 μM).
