Abstract

The bisferrocene-benzobisimidazole triad behaves as a selective redox and fluorescent chemosensor for HSO(4)(-) and Hg(2+) ions, exhibiting an easily detectable signal change in both the redox potential of the ferrocene/ferrocinium redox couple and in the emission band which is red-shifted (Δλ = 10-13 nm) and enhanced in intensity (Chelation Enhanced Fluorescence, CHEF = 486-225) upon complexation with these ions, in EtOH solutions.
