A simple and selective photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensor was constructed for Hg2+ detection based on zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPc) dye-sensitized CdS using alginate not only as a carrier but also as a binder. First, CdS as a photoactive material was in situ modified on the electrode surface using a rapid and simple electrodeposition to obtain an initial photocurrent signal. Second, ZnPc was loaded in the amphiphilic alginate micelle and then was coated onto the CdS film surface via alginate as the binder. The photocurrent was subsequently enhanced due to the favorable dye sensitization effect of ZnPc to CdS. Finally, the thymine-rich probe DNA was immobilized on the modified ITO surface via coupling reaction between the carbonyl groups of the amphiphilic polymer and the amino groups of the probe DNA. In the presence of Hg2+, the thymine–Hg2+–thymine (T–Hg2+–T) structure was formed due to the specific bond of Hg2+ with thymine, resulting in the decrease of photocurrent due to the increase of steric hindrance on the modified electrode surface. The proposed PEC biosensor for Hg2+ detection possessed a wide linear range from 10 pM to 1.0 μM with a detection limit of 5.7 pM. This biosensor provides a promising platform for detecting other biomolecules of interest.

Ratio fluorescence has attracted much attention because of its self-calibration properties. However, it is difficult to obtain suitable fluorescent materials with well-resolved signals simultaneously under one excitation. In this work, we report a different strategy, using MIL-68(In)-NH 2 as both the fluorescence element and the scattered light unit, and coupling the fluorescence and the scattered light to construct the fluorescence and scattered light ratio system. Based on the optical properties and the second-order scattering (SOS) of the material nanoparticles , the synthesized MIL-68(In)-NH 2 can be used to realize the ratio detection of Hg 2+ . Because the scattering intensity of small particle MIL-68(In)-NH 2 is weak, SOS is not obvious. When Hg 2+ is introduced the coordination reaction between the amino nitrogen atoms of MIL-68(In)-NH 2 and Hg 2+ make the particles larger, resulting in the decrease of fluorescence and the enhancement of SOS. As a result, a novel Hg 2+ ratiometric detection method is developed by using the dual signal responses of the fluorescence and scattering. Under the optimal conditions (pH = 6, reaction time 5 min, room temperature , and the maximum excitation wavelength 365 nm), the linear range of the method is 0–100 μM, and the detection limit is 5.8 nM (Ksv = 9.89 × 10 9 M −1 ). In addition, the probe is successfully used to evaluate Hg 2+ in actual water samples. Compared with the traditional method of recording only the fluorescence signal, the proposed fluorescence-scattering method provides a new strategy for the design of ratiometric sensors.

By using mixed rigid and flexible organic ligands, three Keggin based compounds, [Ag6(tbz)4(bmz)2(H3PW12O40)]·4H2O (1), [Ag(H2bdpm)2(H2PMo12O40)]·7.5H2O (2), and [Ag4(tbz)2(H2bdpm)2(HPMo12O40)]·2H2O (3) (Htbz = thiabendazole, Hbmz = benzimidazole, H2bdpm = 1,1′-bis(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazolate)methane), were hydrothermally synthesized and structurally characterized. Through adopting rigid Htbz ligands, compound 1 with hexa-nuclear AgI clusters has been obtained. These hexa-nuclear clusters are linked by Keggin anions alternately to form a one dimensional (1D) chain. In compound 2, the organic moiety is the flexible H2bdpm ligand. The Keggin anions are fused by [Ag(H2bdpm)2]+ subunits to form a 1D chain. In compound 3, the rigid Htbz and the flexible H2bdpm cooperate to modify the anions. Two tbz and two H2bdpm are fused by four AgI ions to construct a tetra-nuclear AgI cycle. The anions connect these cycles through Ag–O bonds alternately to form a 1D chain. Adjacent chains arrange parallel to build a 2D layer. The chains in the adjacent layers are vertically packed and linked by Ag–O bonds to construct a 3D framework. The electrochemical and photocatalytic properties of the title compounds have been studied. Furthermore, we have also studied the Hg2+ recognition properties in a suspension of compounds 1 and 3.

Inspired by the bioadhesive and redox properties of the 3,4-dihydroxy-phenylalanine (DOPA) contained in marine mussels, a facile, rapid and economic colorimetric strategy for Hg2+ detection was developed. The abundant catechol chains on the surface of Ag@DOPA can reduce Hg2+ to Hg0 and form a Ag@DOPA@Hg nanostructure with the deposition of Hg0. The nanostructures of Ag@DOPA and Ag@DOPA@Hg were confirmed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, elemental mapping and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The formation of the Ag@DOPA@Hg nanostructure causes a change in the color of the Ag@DOPA colloids from golden yellow to purple blue, making it directly possible to detect Hg2+ using a colorimetric strategy within 5 minutes. With increasing concentrations of Hg2+ from 10 nM to 4 μM, the surface plasmon resonance absorbance peak of the Ag@DOPA colloids decreased in intensity and exhibited a good linear relationship with the Hg2+ concentration. The limit of detection was determined as 5 nM. Furthermore, this response was found to be highly selective for Hg2+ as the absorption spectrum was not affected by other metal ions such as Pb2+, Cr3+, Cu2+, Al3+, Ni2+, Co2+, etc. The excellent stability, selectivity and sensitivity of this strategy offer analytical practicability for Hg2+ detection in real water samples with recoveries in the range of 104–105% and cosmetic samples with recoveries in the range of 85–103%.

Herein, we rationally designed and synthesized novel green-emitting fluorescent carbon dots (CDs) through cross amide formation of two precursors, benzene-1,3,5-triamine trihydrochloride and trimethyl 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylate, under hydrothermal treatment . The average particle size of the CDs was ∼2.7 nm with graphitic carbon structures. The obtained CDs showed good photoluminescent properties with a quantum yield of up to 11.2%. The carbon dots showed good fluorescence sensitivity and selectivity for Hg 2+ , and the LOD and LOQ values were 17.5 pM and 58.3 pM in the range of 0.1–0.8 μM, which could be successfully applied to Hg 2+ detection in real water samples as well as intracellular Hg 2+ fluorescence detection .

We fabricate a novel electrochemical biosensor based on the specific thymine-Hg 2+ -thymine (T-Hg 2+ -T) base pair for the highly sensitive detection of mercury ions (Hg 2+ ) and utilize toluidine blue (TB) as a redox indicator that is combined with a hybridization chain reaction (HCR) for signal amplification . The dandelion-like CuO (D-CuO) microspheres that were assembled using Au nanoparticles were first introduced as support materials, which produced more active sites for the thiolated probe (P1) combination. Then, the presence of Hg 2+ induced P1 to hybridize with the other oligonucleotide (P2) through Hg 2+ -mediated T-Hg 2+ -T complexes. In addition, the partial sequence of P2 acted as an initiator sequence, which led the two hairpin DNA (H1 and H2) strands to collectively form the extended double-strand DNA through the HCR process on the electrode surface . TB was employed to interact with the double strands and produce an efficient electrochemical signal. The proposed strategy combined the amplification of the HCR and the inherent redox activity of TB and utilized D-CuO/Au composites, which exhibited high sensitivity for Hg 2+ determination. Under the optimum conditions, the proposed biosensor showed a prominent response for Hg 2+ , including a linear range from 1 pM to 100 nM and a detection limit of 0.2 pM (S/N = 3). Moreover, the new biosensor proved its potential application for trace Hg 2+ determination in environmental water samples.

New strategies still need to be proposed that can be used to sense and remove toxic environmental pollutants in a sensing system. In this research, a novel NIR fluorescence sensor 1 was designed and prepared with aggregation induced emission (AIE) property. The fluorescence intensity of the sensor 1 in DMSO/H 2 O mixed solvent was changed along with the proportion of water. The sensor 1 can be successfully used for real-time detection and removal of Hg 2+ in 20% DMSO aqueous solution with high selectivity, quick response and so on. Furthermore it can be efficiently reused and recycled without any loss through Na 2 S. In addition, the sensor 1 displayed high sensitivity and selectivity to cyanide ions in 1% DMSO aqueous solution with the presence of other interference anions. The sensing mechanism for Hg 2+ and cyanide ion was evaluated by 1 H NMR spectra, Mass spectrometry. The sensor 1 exhibited low cytotoxicity for biological applications, which was used as an outstanding fluorescent transducer for detection of cyanide ion in living cells. Based on the visible fluorescence change for the sensor 1 to cyanide ion, the measurement was performed for food materials containing cyanide, such as potato, cassava powder and almond. This research provides perspective potential in solving the problem of other pollution and stimulating new thinking for designing of the novel fluorescence materials.

A facile preparation of magnetic MOF composites with flexible mercapto group pendants in their pores is realized through solvent-assisted ligand exchange (SALE) under mild conditions in water, and terephthalate in UIO-66 is replaced with mercaptoacetic acid (MAA). After the SALE processing, the crystallinity, porosity, and superparamagnetism of the mercapto functionalized magnetic Zr-MOF (MFC-S) are well maintained, and the obtained MFC-S exhibits a higher adsorption capacity (282 mg g−1) for Hg2+ than that of the magnetic Zr-MOF (MFC-O). Furthermore, the prepared MFC-S can be regenerated easily by liquid desorption after adsorption of metal ions and be reused more than 5 times without obvious decrease in removal performance. The proposed SALE method for the preparation of mercapto functionalized magnetic MOF composites (MFCs) is easy-to-operate and low cost, providing not only a reliable porous MFC platform for the removal of metal ions, but also a simple and efficient synthesis route for the preparation of functionalized MFCs which cannot be achieved through conventional approaches.

CuS (PCuS) particles were facilely synthesized by the wet-treatment of a Cu-based metal organic framework (HKUST-1). PCuS possesses an impressive intrinsic peroxidase-like activity. As a result of this affinity, PCuS readily binds to 3,3′,5′,5-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) in the presence of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) (Km values of 29 μM and 150 μM toward TMB and H2O2, respectively). Interestingly, when Hg2+ was added, HgS produced in conjunction with the specific binding sites on the surface of PCuS remarkably inhibited the peroxidase-like activity of PCuS. Based on this unique property, a sensing platform for the colorimetric detection of Hg2+ was established. In addition, high surface area and strong affinity for Hg2+ make PCuS an excellent adsorbent for Hg2+ (2105 mg g−1). These results indicate that PCuS could be a useful material for the facile detection and the efficient removal of Hg2+ using HKUST-1 as a precursor in environmental abatement applications.

A new colorimetric and fluorogenic probe ( RN 3 ) based on rhodamine-B has been successfully designed and synthesized. It displays a selective response to Hg 2+ in the aqueous buffer solution over the other competing metals. Upon addition of Hg 2+ , the solution of RN 3 exhibits a ‘naked eye’ observable color change from colorless to red and an intensive fluorescence with about 105-fold enhancement. The changes in the color and fluorescence are ascribed to the ring-opening of spirolactam in rhodamine fluorophore, which is induced by a binding of the constructed receptor to Hg 2+ with the association and dissociation constants of 0.22 × 10 5 M −1 and 25.2 μM, respectively. The Job's plot experiment determines a 1:1 binding stoichiometry between RN 3 and Hg 2+ . The resultant “turn-on” fluorescence in buffer solution, allows the application of a method to determine Hg 2+ levels in the range of 4.0–15.0 μM, with the limit of detection (LOD) calculated at 60.7 nM (3σ/slope). In addition, the fluorescence ‘turn-off’ and color ‘fading-out’ happen to the mixture of RN 3 -Hg 2+ by further addition of I − or S 2− . The reversible switching cycles of fluorescence intensity upon alternate additions of Hg 2+ and S 2− demonstrate that RN 3 can perform as an INHIBIT logic gate. Furthermore, the potential of RN 3 as a fluorescent probe has been demonstrated for cellular imaging .

In this study, the thiophenyl polyamide ( TPPA ) derived from tri(4-aminophenyl) benzene was synthesized for the removal of Hg 2+ from the aqueous solution. The adsorbent was characterized by the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, nitrogen adsorption–desorption, thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry. The adsorption capacity of Hg 2+ is 518.7 mg g −1 at a dose of 1.1 g/L of adsorbent. TPPA was shown to have the following advantages: (i) the high selectivity for the excess metal ions Hg 2+ , (ii) the stability in the pH values ranging between 2 and 6, and (iii) the proper recyclability (87 % of Hg 2+ can be removed in 5 adsorption–desorption cycles). Our analysis suggests the models of the pseudo-second-order kinetics and the Langmuir isotherm are suitable for the description of the adsorption of Hg 2+ on the thiophene network polyamide. Our experimental and theoretical results reveal the relationship between the structures and the adsorption capacities of TPPA , identifying the oxygen atom (amide) and the sulphur atom (thiophene) as the most important chemical-reaction sites.

A water-soluble fluorescent sensor (L) based on 2-(2-(8-hydroxyquinolin)-yl)benzimidazole has been synthesized and characterized. Sensor L displays highly selective and sensitive recognition of Hg2+ with a fluorescence “ON–OFF” response in buffered aqueous solution (1% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), Tris–HCl 10 mM, pH = 7.4). X-ray crystal structure of the L–Hg2+ complex reveals that the oxygen and nitrogen atoms of 8-hydroxyquinoline and the imine N atom of the benzimidazole unit (N1) bind Hg2+ through a 1 : 1 binding stoichiometry. The fluorescence quenching mechanism is qualitatively evaluated by quantum chemical calculations which show that the fluorescence quenching phenomenon is caused by ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT) in the excited state.
