## Abstract A highly selective assay method has been developed to detect mercury (II) (Hg^2+^) ions using cationic conjugated polymer (CCP). The transduction mechanism is based on a Hg^2+^ promoted reaction. In the absence of Hg^2+^ ions, the CCP can form the complex with an anionic 1,3βdithioleβ2β

β¦ Synopsis
A coumarin-based dithiane (1) was synthesized for the selective detection of Hg 2+ with respect to dual chromo-and fluorogenic changing events in an aqueous solution by the mercury-promoted transformation of a dithiane group into an aldehyde functional unit. The Hg 2+ -selective response of the chemodosimeter was clearly observed in aqueous buffer as well as in human blood plasma medium.

## Abstract A highly selective fluorescence sensor was developed for Hg(II) ion detection in aqueous solutions based on the selective binding of Hg(II) ions with a pair of thymineβthymine mismatch. The sensor consists of two DNA probes functionalized with a fluorophore (fluorescein, F) and a quench
A coumarin-based alkyne was developed as a fluorescent chemodosimeter for the selective detection of mercuric ion. It showed a high selectivity and sensitivity to mercury(II) ion over other metal ions in water.
Contamination with heavy metal ions may have severe effects on human health and the environment. Mercury contamination is widespread and arises from a variety of natural sources, such as oceanic and volcanic emissions, [1] as well as anthropogenic sources, [2] such as gold mining and the combustion
