Title: Highly selective and ultrasensitive detection of Hg(2+) based on fluorescence quenching of Au nanoclusters by Hg(2+)-Au(+) interactions. Author: Xie J, Zheng Y, Ying JY. Journal: Chem Commun (Camb); 2010 Feb 14; 46(6):961-3. PubMed ID: 20107664. Abstract: A simple label-free method for the detection of Hg(2+) ions with high selectivity and sensitivity has been developed by using fluorescent Au NCs in aqueous media. The sensing mechanism was based on the high-affinity metallophilic Hg(2+)-Au(+) interactions, which effectively quenched the fluorescence of Au NCs.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
