“…[11][12] Several sensors for the mercury, based on organic molecules and polymers have been reported in the literature. This includes use of coumarin, [13,14] hydroxyl chromones, [15] triazole, [16,17] benzimidazole, [18,19] benzothiadiazole, [20,21] thiophene, [22,23] porphyrin, [24,25] naphthalenediimide, [26,27] naphthyridine, [28,29] naphthalimides, [29,30] BODIPY, [31,32] 1-(2-aminoethyl)thioureas, [33] and dansylamides [34] groups to create optical probes that can work in organic or aqueous medium with a detection range of 10 À 5 to 10 À 10 M. Cleavage of the spirolactam ring in the rhodamine derivatives forms the basis of many Hg 2 + ion sensors. [35] The use of phenyl ethers for the detection of various cations and anions has recently been demonstrated.…”
