| Abstract | Two new tripodal receptors (1–2) have been synthesized and characterized by various spectroscopic techniques. The nano-aggregates of 1 and 2 (N1 and N2) have been prepared by a re-precipitation method in aqueous medium and have shown different photo-physical properties. Nano-aggregates of 1 (N1) can selectively recognize Hg(2+) in aqueous medium in the presence of other metal ions with enhancement in fluorescent intensity. The response was linearly proportional to the concentration of Hg(2+) in the range 0–10 μM with a detection limit of 2.4 nM. The mechanism of selective binding of Hg(2+) by N1 has also been supported by theoretical studies. To the best of our knowledge, this work represents the first report on substituted thiourea based nano-aggregates for nano-molar detection of mercury in aqueous medium. |
