title: Ratiometric fluorescent chemosensor for Hg(2+) based on heptamethine cyanine containing a thymine moiety.
abstract: Based on a T-Hg(2+)-T binding mode, a sensitive ratiometric fluorescent chemosensor for aqueous Hg(2+) was developed with a heptamethine cyanine chromophore containing a thymine moiety.
