Mercury (Hg) Sensing Using Coumarin-Derived Fluorescent Chemo-Sensors: An Intuitive Development from 2015 to 2023.

Mercury is known as a highly toxic metal that is poisonous even if present in a trace amount. Generally, it enters in the food chain (especially fish) and water resources via different pathways and leads to harmful effects. Owing to the detrimental nature of the metal, traditionally several methods were employed by researchers for regular monitoring of the mercury metal ions.
