Two probes ( and ) bearing two dansyl fluorophores were synthesized and applied to the detection of mercury(ii) ions in aqueous solution. These probes exhibited a selective response to Hg(2+) in a buffered solution, with high sensitivity and a unique fluorescence response signal which displayed a blue-shift effect in the fluorescence emission peak. The Hg(2+) recognition mechanisms of the probes were determined by NMR spectroscopy, ESI-MS and UV-vis spectroscopy. The results showed that probe and mercury(ii) ions formed an unusual 2:2 stoichiometric ratio complex, while probe and Hg(2+) formed a multidentate complex with a stoichiometric ratio of 2:1.

The removal and detection of highly toxic mercury(II) ions (Hg) in water used daily is essential for human health and monitoring environmental pollution. Efficient porous organic polymers (POPs) can provide a strong adsorption capacity toward heavy metal ions, although the complex synthetic process and inconvenient phase separation steps limit their application. Hence, a combination of POPs and magnetic nanomaterials was proposed and a new magnetic porous organic polymer adsorbent was fabricated by a green and mild redox reaction in the aqueous phase with trithiocyanuric acid (TA) and its sodium salts acting as reductive monomers and iodine acting as an oxidant.

This study introduces a novel ion-imprinted polymer for the ultrasensitive detection of mercury(II) in water. The ion-imprinted polymer was synthesized via a simple bulk polymerization process using methacrylic acid as the functional monomer, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate as the cross-linker, morpholine-4-carbodithioic acid phenyl ester as the chelating agent, and ammonium persulfate as the initiator. The electrochemical mercury(II) sensing capability of the ion-imprinted polymer was studied via the modification of a cost-effective carbon paste electrode.

Goal-oriented development of novel covalent organic frameworks (COFs) to construct a sensing platform for highly toxic mercury (II, Hg) is of tremendous significance. Recently, numerous COFs with sulfur-based ligands were developed for Hg monitoring; however, strong binding of Hg by sulfur makes their regeneration very tough. Herein, we designed and developed an amino-functionalized fluorescent COF (COF-NH) through facile postmodification for Hg detection in which the π-conjugation skeleton is the signal reader and the nitrogen-based side is the highly selective Hg receptor.
