title: Carbohydrate assisted fluorescence turn-on gluco-imino-anthracenyl conjugate as a Hg(II) sensor in milk and blood serum milieu.
abstract: A new anthracenyl-imino-glucosyl conjugate (L) selectively senses Hg(2+) by turn-on fluorescence with a 13 ± 1 fold enhancement by forming a 2 : 1 complex in pH 5 to 10 even in the presence of several biologically and ecologically relevant metal ions, with a 25 ± 2% fluorescence enhancement at the EPA limit of 2 ppb. L is equally sensitive towards Hg(2+) in the presence of albumin proteins and in blood serum and milk.
