Abstract

A novel tetraphenylethene-based fluorescence probe compound 1 bearing 1,2-ethanedithiol units linked with tetraphenylethene moiety is synthesized efficiently. Compound 1 exhibit sensitively and selectively to Hg2+ over other metal ions in DMF/H2O solution based on aggregation induced emission (AIE) mechanism. The results show that compound 1 demonstrates an Hg2+-specific bathochromic shift and fluorescent enhancement with a 1:2 reacting stoichiometry. The detection limit of compound 1 for Hg2+ is 2×10-6 mol·L-1.
