A Sensitive “Turn-off” Fluorescent Chemosensor for Hg(II) Detection based on a Vanillin-derived N-phenylpyrazoline
Even in small quantities, Hg(II) is one of the most dangerous heavy metals because of its harmful effects on human health. Therefore, Hg(II) monitoring in environmental samples is essential. In this study, vanillin was chemically modified to create new fluorescent chemosensing agents for Hg(II) ions. Vanillin was modif...
