A highly selective fluorescent chemosensor for Hg2+ in aqueous solution
A novel selective chemosensor (quinoxaline-bridged Schiffbase macrocycle) for mercury ion has been designed and synthesized, and it exhibited a remarkable selective fluorescent quench toward Hg2+ in the presence of other metal ions in aqueous solution.
