Mercury ions are toxic and exhibit hazardous effects on the environment and biological systems, and thus demand for the selective and sensitive detection of mercury has become considerably an important issue. Here, we have developed a diselenide containing coumarin-based probe 3 for the selective detection of Hg(II) with a "turn-on" response (a 48 fold increase in fluorescence intensity) at 438 nm. The probe could quantitatively detect Hg(II) with a detection limit of 1.32 μM in PBS solution. Moreover, the probe has operable efficiency over the physiological range with an increase in the quantum yield from 1.2% to 57.3%. The reaction of the probe with Hg(II) yielded a novel monoselenide based coumarin 4 diselenide oxidation, which was confirmed by single crystal XRD. Furthermore, the biological use of the probe for the detection of Hg(II) was confirmed in the MCF-7 cell line. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reaction-based probe for Hg(II) diselenide oxidation.

Background: Electrochemical methods, particularly those utilizing sensors, offer distinct advantages over classical analytical methods. They are cost-effective, compatible with mass fabrication, suitable for remote sensing, and can be designed as handheld analyzers. In this context, MIL-101(Cr)-(COOH)₂@MWCNTs was utilized for the first time as a modifier for GCE for the sensitive voltammetric detection of Pb(II), Cu(II), and Hg(II).

Aquaculture organisms may accumulate metals to induce health risks. Compared with the focus on total contents, chemical-specific risk assessment makes reasonable but is rare. Herein, we elucidated occurrence of twelve metal compounds in shrimp and fish (edible muscle, one of major metal-containing and generally targeted organs), water, sediment, and feedstuff from two aquaculture ponds in Zhejiang Province (one of the major aquatic production and consumption areas).

Heavy metals and metalloids are the most common environmental pollutants. Toxicity characteristic leaching procedure (TCLP) is a standard operating procedure that is used to assess heavy metal and metalloid compositions, and evaluate the hazardous nature of waste and waste-derived materials for reuse or disposal, such as determining landfill suitability. However, TCLP and the following detections are time-consuming and require bulky laboratory-based instruments and trained personnel.

Mercury contamination of the environment is extremely hazardous to human health because of its significant toxicity, especially in water. Biomass-derived fluorophores such as carbon dots (CDs) have emerged as eco-friendly and cost-effective alternative sensors that provide comparable efficacy while mitigating the environmental and economic drawbacks of conventional methods. In this work, we report the fabrication of a selective fluorescence-enhancing sensor based on sulfur-doped carbon dots (SCDs) using waste bamboo-derived cellulose and sodium thiosulfate as the soft base dopant, which actively complexes with mercury ions for detection.
