A water soluble turn-on fluorescent probe for the detection of mercury ions in purely aqueous media a has been developed by appending a water-compatible PEG-unit onto a rhodamine derivative. It has high selectivity for Hg2+ ions and is fairly non-toxic in intercellular studies.

A novel turn-on fluorescence probe L has been designed that exhibits high selectivity and sensitivity with a detection limit of 9.53 × 10−8 mol/L for the quantification of Zn2+. 1H-NMR spectroscopy and single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis revealed the unsymmetrical nature of the structure of the Schiff base probe L. An emission titration experiment in the presence of different molar fractions of Zn2+ was used to perform a Job’s plot analysis. The results showed that the stoichiometric ratio of the complex formed by L and Zn2+ was 1:1. Moreover, the molecular structure of the mononuclear Cu complex reveals one ligand L coordinates with one Cu atom in the asymmetric unit. On adding CuCl2 to the ZnCl2/L system, a Cu-Zn complex was formed and a strong quenching behavior was observed, which inferred that the Cu2+ displaced Zn2+ to coordinate with the imine nitrogen atoms and hydroxyl oxygen atoms of probe L.

2-((3-Methylthiophen-2-yl)methyleneamino)benzenethiol (Probe 1) is selective for Hg2+. The binding affinity of Hg2+ with Probe 1 was confirmed by DFT and electrochemical behaviour. The limit of detection was 20 μM with 2 : 1 stoichiometry of 1 + Hg2+ complex.
