Summary: | Mercury ion (Hg
2+
) is a well-known toxic heavy metal. It has become one of the most significant environmental pollutants in the world because of its serious physiological toxicity, persistence, easy migration, and high bioconcentration. Thus, the development of methods for monitoring Hg
2+
is indispensable. Herein, we have designed and synthesized a new fluorescent probe,
TPH
, for the detection of Hg
2+
in the water environment. The
TPH
probe could quantitatively detect Hg
2+
between 0 and 5 μM (LOD = 16 nM), with a linear range of 0-2.5 μM. In addition, the
TPH
probe was used to monitor Hg
2+
in water samples successfully. Thus, this probe is suitable for monitoring Hg
2+
in the actual water environment.
A novel fluorescent
TPH
probe was developed to monitor Hg
2+
in the water environment, which possessed many advantages, including good water solubility, excellent sensitivity (LOD = 16 nM), high selectivity, and excellent practical application. |
