Thiazole-Formulated Azomethine Compound for Three-Way Detection of Mercury Ions in Aqueous Media and Application in Living Cells.

Heavy metal ions are extremely poisonous and cause long-term harm to living organisms. Among these ions, mercury is the most toxic metal and has no notorious purpose in the human body. In this regard, an elegant azomethine thiazole compound was synthesized, and it was found to be highly sensitive to three-way detection of mercury ions with detection limits of 0.
