Difluoro-4-bora-3a, 4a-diaza-s-indacene (BODIPY)-based-π-conjugated derivatives are
endowed with extraordinary photonic and electronic properties. The BODIPYs possess …

Heavy-metal pollution, especially Hg 2+, Pb 2+ and Cd 2+, have become a serious issue
worldwide. Exposure to even very low concentrations of these metals will threaten human …

BODIPY and its derivative multifunctional small molecule probes have become the darlings
in the field of biomedical materials due to its unique molecular structure, high brightness …

Because of its extreme toxicity, the determination of Hg2+ in aqueous solution is an
important subject for human health and environmental monitoring. In this study, a novel UIO …

A highly branched pillar [5] arene-based sensor containing multiple BODIPY units has been
designed and synthesized (B–P [5] arene). Systematical experiments on metal ion detection …

We report a new 7-nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1, 3-diazolyl (NBD)-based chemosensor containing a
piperazine derivative, NBDP, for detection of mercury ions in almost 100% aqueous …

It is highly challenging to develop fast and sensitive fluorescent methods for monitoring
organic mercury in purely aqueous solutions as well as live cells. Especially, selective …

Human exposure to Hg (II) and As (III) can lead to several physiological problems such as
liver damage, kidney damage, lung cancer, skin cancer, motion disorder, brain damage, etc …

Mercury is a frequent, bioaccumulative, extremely toxic pollutant in the environment. Mercury
contamination can be accumulated along the food chain and cause a wide range of serious …

Metals are essential to all life forms since they play critical roles in fundamental processes.
However, exposure to heavy metal ions have posed substantial threats to the environment …
