A novel easily available turn-on fluorescent chemosensor RPU based on a rhodamine-phenylurea conjugate was synthesized, which showed highly selective and sensitive recognition toward Pb(2+) in CH(3)CN and Hg(2+) in aqueous media over a wide range of tested metal ions with remarkably enhanced fluorescent intensities and also clear color changes from colorless to pink.

A novel colorimetric and fluorescent chemosensor based on a rhodamine 6G phenylurea conjugate showed highly selective and sensitive recognition toward acetate ions in H(2)O-CH(3)CN (1:1, v/v) with fluorescence intensity change and also clear color change from pink to colorless in the presence of Fe(III) ions.
