Abstract
The pollution caused by mercury ions (Hg2+) poses a potential threat to public health. Therefore, monitoring Hg2+ concentration in the environment is necessary and significant. In this work, a naphthalimide functionalized fluoran dye NAF has been prepared, which shows a new red-shift in emission at 550 nm with the maximum intensity in a mixture of water-CH3CN (v/v = 7/3) due to aggregating induced emission (AIE) effect. Meanwhile, NAF can be employed as a Hg2+ ions sensor, which displays a selective and sensitive response to Hg2+ ions by the reduced fluorescence of naphthalimide fluorophore and increased fluorescence of fluoran group, respectively, showing ratiometric fluorescence signal changes with more than 65-fold emission intensity ratio increase and naked eyes visible color change. In addition, the response time is fast (within 1 min) and the sensing can be conducted in a wide pH range (4.0-9.0). Moreover, the detection limit has been evaluated to be 5.5 nM. The sensing mechanism may be attributed to the formation of a π-extended conjugated system due to the Hg2+ ions-induced conversion of spironolactone to the ring-opened form, partially accompanied by the fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) process. Significantly, NAF exhibits suitable cytotoxicity to living HeLa cells, which allows it to be utilized for ratiometric imaging of Hg2+ ions assisted by confocal fluorescence imaging.

Abstract
To develop efficient tools for monitoring toxicant Hg2+ in aqueous solution attracts great attention because the abnormal distribution of Hg2+ in environment poses great threat to human health. We here report the preparation of a novel quinoline-rhodamine hybrid fluorescent probe P7RHg for ratiometricly sensing of Hg2+ in water, with a spirolactam-thiosemicarbazide reaction group. Upon treatment by Hg2+, the ratio of fluorescence intensity (F600/F460) exhibits nearly 90-fold enhancement, presenting two well-resolved emission peaks (140 nm). Meanwhile, the specific Hg2+-induced desulfurization provides probe P7RHg an excellent selectivity to Hg2+, with a detection limit of 8.6 nM. Moreover, the low cytotoxicity allows P7RHg to be employed for tracing Hg2+ in living cells by confocal fluorescence imaging.

Abstract
A novel pyridyl-based ligand with multiple binding sites was developed as potential turn on fluorescent probe for mercuric ion. In comparison with other transition metal ions, the ligand displayed a significant optical selectivity and sensitivity for Hg2+ in aqueous solution with a remarkable fluorescence enhancement. The obtained spectroscopic response was related to the inhibition of the photo-chemical mechanism known as photo-induced electron transfer (PET) in the ligand and CN isomerization by Hg2+ binding. A good linearity between fluorescence responses and Hg2+ concentration was obtained in the range 3.3 × 10-9 M-1.6 × 10-8 M and a nanomolar level limit of detection (LOD) (1.4 × 10-9 M ~ 0.28 ppb) and limit of quantification (LOQ) (4.8 × 10-9 M ~ 0.93 ppb) were obtained. Both LOD and LOQ values are very low compared to the reported permissible Hg2+ level in drinking water (2 ppb) by US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The possible binding mode between ligand and Hg2+ were determined using Job's plot analysis and density functional theory (DFT) calculations and a complex with 1:1 stoichiometric ratio was suggested. The response of the pyridyl ligand upon Hg2+ addition was noted to be fast without any time delay and reversible. The performance of the ligand at nanomolar level of Hg2+ and real sample application of the proposed method was investigated and satisfactory results were obtained.

Abstract
Forensic chemistry deals with the analysis of various types of physical evidences related to crime, corresponding to the detection of target substances or elements in complex matrices. There is a vital need for highly selective, rapid, and sensitive biosensing technologies in heavy metal ions analysis especially those from living persons, autopsy, food, water, soil, and other identified substances at very preliminary stages. Fluorescent materials-based method for heavy metal ions detection is one of the most important analytical methods, resulting in the ability to measure analytes in complex matrices with unsurpassed selectivity and sensitivity. In this mini review, different fluorescent materials-based analytical methods aiming at several heavy metal ions detection are exclusively reviewed through a comprehensive literature survey. In addition, current challenges to achieve integrated evidence analysis process are briefly discussed to provide an outlook for heavy metal ions detection based on fluorescent analytical methods in the forensic chemistry field.

Abstract
Though it has not been shown to deliver any biological importance, mercuric(II) ion (Hg2+) is a deleterious cation which poses grievous effects to the human body and/or the ecosystem, hence, the need for its sensitive and selective monitoring in both environmental and biological systems. Over the years, there has been a great deal of work in the use of fluorescent, colourimetric, and/or ratiometric probes for Hg2+ recognition. Essentially, the purpose of this review article is to give an overview of the advances made in the constructions of such probes based on the works reported in the period from 2011 to 2019. Discussion in this review work has been tailored to the kinds of fluorophore scaffolds used for the constructions of the probes reported. Selected examples of probes under each fluorophore subcategory were discussed with mentions of the typically determined parameters in an analytical sensing operation, including modulation in fluorescence intensity, optimal pH, detection limit, and association constant. The environmental and biological application ends of the probes were also touched where necessary. Important generalisations and conclusions were given at the end of the review. This review article highlights 196 references.

Abstract
A new fluorescent sensor, M201-DPA, based on [5]helicene derivative was utilized as dual-analyte sensor for determination of Cu2+ or Zn2+ in different media and different emission wavelengths. The sensor could provide selective and bifunctional determination of Cu2+ in HEPES buffer containing Triton-X100 and Zn2+ in Tris buffer/methanol without interference from each other and other ions. In HEPES buffer, M201-DPA demonstrated the selective ON-OFF fluorescence quenching at 524 nm toward Cu2+. On the other hand, in Tris buffer/methanol, M201-DPA showed the selective OFF-ON fluorescence enhancement upon the addition of Zn2+, which was specified by the hypsochromic shift at 448 nm. Additionally, M201-DPA showed extremely large Stokes shifts up to ∼150 nm. By controlling the concentration of Zn2+ and Cu2+ in a living cell, the imaging of a HepG2 cellular system was performed, in which the fluorescence of M201-DPA in the blue channel was decreased upon addition of Cu2+ and was enhanced in UV channel upon addition of Zn2+. The detection limits of M201-DPA for Cu2+ and Zn2+ in buffer solutions were 5.6 and 3.8 ppb, respectively. Importantly, the Cu2+ and Zn2+ detection limits of the developed sensors were significantly lower than permitted Cu2+ and Zn2+ concentrations in drinking water as established by the U.S. EPA and WHO.

Abstract
A sensitive fluorescent detection platform for Hg2+ was constructed based on mercaptosuccinic acid (MSA) coated near-infrared (NIR)-emitting gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). The thiolated mercaptosuccinic acid was employed as both reducing agent and surface coating ligand in a one-step synthesis of NIR-emitting AuNPs (MSA-AuNPs), which exhibited stable fluorescence with the maximum wavelength at 800nm and a wide range of excitation (220-650nm) with the maxima at 413nm. The MSA coated NIR-emitting AuNPs showed a rapid fluorescence quenching toward Hg2+ over other metal ions with a limit of detection (LOD, 3δ) as low as 4.8nM. The sensing mechanism investigation revealed that the AuNPs formed aggregation due to the "recognition" of Hg2+ from the MSA, and the resultant strong coupling interaction between Hg2+ and Au (I) to further quench the fluorescence of the AuNPs, which synergistically resulted in a highly sensitive and selective fluorescence response toward Hg2+. This proposed strategy was also demonstrated the possibility to be used for Hg2+ detection in water samples.
