title: Accelerated hydration reaction of an unsymmetrical tolan evidenced by a Hg(ii)-trapped macrocycle and its application as a Hg(ii)-selective indicator.
abstract: Hg(ii)-mediated hydration reactions of unsymmetrical quinoline type tolans were studied. The observed accelerated reactions of the tolans rely on the additional binding motifs of the tolan, as supported by the X-ray structure of the macrocycle (2b). The analyte-specific reaction allows us to detect Hg(ii) in buffered media.
