    Journal: J Environ Monit; 2009 Mar; 11(3):648-53. PubMed ID: 19280043.
    Abstract:
    An inorganic-organic hybrid fluorescence chemosensor (R6G-SBA-15) was prepared by covalent immobilization of a Rhodamine 6G derivative within the channels of mesoporous silica material SBA-15 via triethoxysilane groups. The primary hexagonally ordered mesoporous structure of SBA-15 is preserved after the grafting procedure. R6G-SBA-15 features effectively chromogenical and fluorogenical responses with a broad pH span (2-10), excellent sensitivity to environmentally relevant mercury levels lower to ppb range. It also exhibits Hg(2+)-specificity over various competitive cations, including alkali and alkaliearth, the first-row transition metals as well as heavy metals such as Pb(2+), Cd(2+) and Ag(+), etc. Additional experiments establish the well-fitted linearity function of the fluorescent intensity with the concentration of Hg(2+) in aqueous solution, suggesting the possibility for real-time qualitative or quantitative detection of Hg(2+) and the convenience for potential application in toxicology and environmental science.
