Due to the deleterious effects of mercury on human health and natural ecosystems, high
reactivity, non-degradability, extreme volatility and relative water and tissue solubility, it …

Exposure to mercury ions, even at very low levels, is known to cause a wide variety of
diseases in the brain, kidney, and central nervous system, which is an increasing serious …

A simple and selective aptamer-based colorimetric method was developed for highly
sensitive detection of acetamiprid, taking advantages of the sensitive target-induced colour …

An Anthracene based fluorescent probe, 1-(Anthracen-2-yliminomethyl)-napthalen-2-ol
(AIN), was synthesized via simple one-pot reaction from inexpensive reagents. Intriguingly, it …

The synthesis of a series of push–pull arylvinyl (styryl), aryl, and arylethynyl quinazoline
derivatives by means of different straightforward protocols is reported. The photophysical …

Heavy metal ions have an aggressive impact on human health and the environment if the
predictable levels are varied. The development of new strategies constructed on colorimetric …

This review with 111 references covers recent progress made in the field of strip tests and
spot tests for quantitative determination of mercury (II) ions. Following an introduction into …

Six novel donor–π–acceptor organic dyes bearing a pyrimidine as the anchoring group
have been obtained in good yields by combination of the microwave-assisted Suzuki cross …

Developing an effective method that could provide simple, rapid and visual determination of
Hg2+ in water has attracted great attention. In this work, a novel chemical sensor with a …

The extraordinary richness of push‐pull molecules that incorporate pyrimidine rings as
electron‐withdrawing moieties in their structure is illustrated in this review. Interest in these π …
