title: Nano-C60 as a novel, effective fluorescent sensing platform for mercury(II) ion detection at critical sensitivity and selectivity.
abstract: The present communication demonstrates the use of water-soluble nano-C(60) as a novel, effective fluorescent sensing platform for Hg(2+) detection for the first time. This sensing system achieves a detection limit as low as 500 pM and exhibits excellent selectivity.
