Determination of Mercury(II) in Aquatic Plants Using Quinoline-Thiourea Conjugates as a Fluorescent Probe

Abstract: In this study, a quinoline-thiourea conjugate (1-phenyl-3-(quinoline-8-yl) thiourea, PQT) was synthesized and used as a fluorescence sensor to detect mercury ion. The observation is coincident with the well-documented phenomenon that a thiocarbonyl-containing group on a fluorochrome quenches the fluorescence due to the heavy atom effect of the S atom. The large fluorescence enhancement of PQT in the buffered MeCN-water mixture (1/1 v/v; HEPES 100 mM; pH 8.0) was caused by the Hg 2+ induced transformation of th… Show more

“…[1][2][3][4][5] Mercury ion (Hg 2+ ) posed a tremendous menace owing to its bioaccumulation, such as permanent damage and slow accumulation in the central nervous and endocrine systems. 6 Moreover, it can easily give rise to a wide variety of diseases, including prenatal brain damage, serious cognitive problems, motion disorders and Minamata disease.…”
