title: Simultaneous detection and removal of mercury ions in aqueous solution with fluorescent conjugated polymer-based sensor ensemble.
abstract: A water-soluble, sulfur-containing fluorescent conjugated polymer exhibits a visible fluorescence color change for detection of mercury in the presence of thymine. A new concept provides the design of a sensor ensemble using a simple combination method. This strategy avoids the need for complicated design and synthesis of a recognition group, eliminating the tedious synthetic efforts for the preparation of a sensor material.
