A new, simple and rapid spectrophotometric FI method for the accurate and precise determination of Hg(II) in pharmaceutical preparations has been developed. The method is based on the measuring the decrease of absorbance intensity of p-nitrobenzoxosulfamate (NBS) due to the complexation with Hg(II). The absorption peak of the NBS, which is decreased linearly by addition of Hg(II), occurs at 430 nm in 2x10(-4) moll(-1) HNO(3) as a carrier solution. Optimization of chemical and FI variables has been made. A micro column consisting of several packing materials applied instead of reaction coil was also investigated. A background level of Fe(III) maintained in reagent carrier solution with NBS was found useful for sensitivity and selectivity. Under the optimized conditions, the sampling rate was over 100 h(-1), the calibration curve obtained were linear over the range 1-10 mugml(-1), the detection limit was lower than 0.2 mugml(-1) for a 20 mul injection volume, and the precision [S(r)=1% at 2 mugml(-1) Hg(II) (n=10)] was found quite satisfactory. Application of the method to the analysis of Hg(II) in pharmaceutical preparations resulted a good agreement between the expected and found values.

Ions of mercury, one of the most hazardous heavy metals in nature, pose serious risks to the environment and human health. Blue sulfur-doped carbon dots (SCDs) from corn stalks were utilized as material. The SCDs were incorporated into a carboxylated hydrogel modified with sulfur, and a compound gel (SCDs-KTOCS gel) was successfully fabricated for simultaneous fluorescence detection and Hg(II) adsorption.

Article Synopsis
- The detection mechanism involves MA reacting with Hg, causing the DNA capsule to collapse and release a fluorescent signal when MA is present.
- The DNA capsules demonstrated high accuracy in detecting MA, with a very low detection limit and successful results in real-world tests like spiked milk solutions.

Article Synopsis
- The 21st century has seen increasing variations of pathogens, leading to significant global health issues, particularly malaria and oxidative damage, which necessitate the search for effective treatments.* -
- Research is focused on the antioxidant potential of transition metal (II) complexes with tridentate Schiff base ligands, as they might enhance both anti-malarial and antioxidant activities, offering a two-fold therapeutic benefit.* -
- Investigations into various metal complexes showed that some, particularly the Hg(II) complex, exhibit strong anti-malarial properties similar to quinine, while Cu(II) and Zn(II) complexes demonstrate significant antioxidant capabilities, supported by molecular docking studies to assess their pharmacological interactions.*

Four rhodamine 6G-PAH probes with pyrene (R6G-Pyr), anthracene (R6G-Ant), acenaphthene (R6G-Acp) or phenanthrene (R6G-PA) as fluorophore were designed and synthesized for Hg(II) detection. Probe R6G-PA, which had the lowest detection limit of 0.84 nmol/L, displayed the best fluorescence performance as compared to the other three probes.
