A Highly Selective Detection Properties of 1,3-Bisdicyanovinylindane for Hg²⁺ Ion

Abstract

Efficient detecting and sensing function of metal ions are important aspects in the design of chemosensor for biological and environmental applications. Among the metal ions, the mercury pollution has been considered as important issue because of its severe genotoxic and neurotoxic effects. Therefore, many scientists have been devoted to the development of chemosensors for the detection of mercury ion with sufficient selectivity. In this work, we have synthesized new chemoesensor which is an appropriate compound due to solubility function in methanol or water under alkali solution. The complex properties for metal ions were examined by the measurements of optical spectrophotometer.
