Abstract:
A novel fluorescent Hg(2+) sensor was developed based on the T-Hg(2+)-T structure and a thioflavine T monomer-excimer fluorescent switch. Under optimum conditions, the selectivity is remarkably high, and Hg(2+) can be quantified over the dynamic range of 0.1 to 1.2 μM, with a limit of detection (LOD) of ~20 nM and a linear correlation coefficient of 0.995.
