title: A cryptand based chemodosimetric probe for naked-eye detection of mercury(II) ion in aqueous medium and its application in live cell imaging.
abstract: A cryptand-rhodamine conjugated chemodosimeter can detect Hg(II) ion in aqueous medium selectively at ppb level in the presence of other biologically relevant metal ions and also shows a good viability to the HEK 293 cell line.
