Abstract

A novel chemosensor based on semisquaraine dye (SSQ) for selective detection of Hg2+ is described. SSQ is obtained in quantitative yields from the reaction between squaric acid and 6-ethoxy-2-quinaldinium iodide. SSQ in combination with surfactant shows a dual chromogenic and fluorogenic response selectively toward Hg2+ as compared to Li+, Na+, K+, Ag+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Zn2+, Pb2+, Cd2+, Cu2+, and Fe3+ due to the soft acid nature and size of the mercuric ion.
