title: Effect of substituents on FRET in rhodamine based chemosensors selective for Hg2+ ions.
abstract: The effect of substituents on FRET in two newly designed rhodamine-based Hg(2+) ion selective chemosensors (L¹ and L²) has been explored by a systematic experimental and theoretical study. Comparison of these sensors in the analytical study and imaging of Hg(2+) ions in living cells has also been included.
