“…8) based on the N-butyl-4-bromo-1,8-naphthalimide moiety. The probe was employed for a fluorescence 'turn on' monitoring of Hg 2+ over a wide range of several other cations, including Zn 2+ , Mn 2+ , Ba 2+ , Ni 2+ , Cu 2+ , Co 2+ , Pb 2+ , Mg 2+ , Cd 2+ , Fe 2+ , Al 3+ , Ag + , Na + , and Li + (Un et al 2014). In aqueous solution (THF-H 2 O, 1:1, pH = 7.4, 10 mM Tris-HCl), Hg 2+ addition to a solution of Hg-5 induced a notable enhancement of fluorescence.…”
