A novel homoplastic podand fluorescent sensor based on flexible hydrophilic lysine was prepared. Lysine with two dansyl groups-appended at both ends supplied a possibility for a tridentate binding toward Hg(II) and finally resulted in a unique selectivity to Hg(II) over other transition-metal ions with a hypersensitivity (detection limit 2.0 nM) in neutral buffered aqueous solutions. Notably, the coordination of chloride ion to the complex of sensor-Hg(II) brought forth that the trend in the NMR chemical shift for hydrogen and carbon atoms of the sensor was contrary to the findings in the former reports, which shows upfield shifts for the hydrogens and the alkane carbons but downfield shifts for the dansyl carbons, respectively.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008239 Lysine An essential amino acid. It is often added to animal feed. Enisyl,L-Lysine,Lysine Acetate,Lysine Hydrochloride,Acetate, Lysine,L Lysine
D008628 Mercury A silver metallic element that exists as a liquid at room temperature. It has the atomic symbol Hg (from hydrargyrum, liquid silver), atomic number 80, and atomic weight 200.59. Mercury is used in many industrial applications and its salts have been employed therapeutically as purgatives, antisyphilitics, disinfectants, and astringents. It can be absorbed through the skin and mucous membranes which leads to MERCURY POISONING. Because of its toxicity, the clinical use of mercury and mercurials is diminishing.
D002021 Buffers A chemical system that functions to control the levels of specific ions in solution. When the level of hydrogen ion in solution is controlled the system is called a pH buffer. Buffer
