title: Hg2+ induced hydrolysis of pentaquinone based Schiff base: a new chemodosimeter for Hg2+ ions in mixed aqueous media.
abstract: A pentaquinone based compound 3 has been synthesized which works as a selective and sensitive chemodosimeter for mercury ions via Hg(2+) promoted hydrolysis of an imine linkage to generate a fluorescent change in mixed aqueous media.
