Bis-thiosemicarbazone functions as a selective chemosensor with the lowest LOD for Hg ions in water-rich medium: implications for on-site detection and logic gate experiments
Key Points
This research aims to explore the application of a bis-thiosemicarbazone as a selective chemosensor for mercury ions in water.
Utilized a mesitylene-anchored bis-thiosemicarbazone (TOMH) as a chemosensor.
Tested the chemosensor for selective detection among various metal ions in an aqueous medium.
Achieved the lowest limit of detection (LOD) for mercury ions compared to other metal ions.
Demonstrated effective function of TOMH in water-rich environments.
Abstract
In this investigation, a mesitylene-anchored bis-thiosemicarbazone (TOMH), was utilized as a chemosensor for the selective detection of mercury ions in an aqueous medium, among various metal ions.
