Abstract
Mercury(II) ions (Hg2+) and silver ions (Ag+) are two of the most hazardous pollutants causing serious damage to human health. Here, we constructed surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-active nanofibers covered with 4-mercaptopyridine (4-Mpy)-modified gold nanoparticles to detect Hg2+ and Ag+. Experimental evidence suggests that the observed spectral changes originate from the combined effect of (i) the coordination between the nitrogen on 4-Mpy and the metal ions and (ii) the 4-Mpy molecular orientation (from flatter to more perpendicular with respect to the metal surface). The relative intensity of a pair of characteristic Raman peaks (at ∼428 and ∼708 cm-1) was used to quantify the metal ion concentration, greatly increasing the reproducibility of the measurement compared to signal-on or signal-off detection based on a single SERS peak. The detection limit of this method for Hg2+ is lower than that for the Ag+ (5 vs 100 nM), which can be explained by the stronger interaction energy between Hg2+ and N compared to Ag+ and N, as demonstrated by density functional theory calculations. The Hg2+ and Ag+ ions can be masked by adding ethylenediaminetetraacetate and Cl-, respectively, to the Hg2+ and Ag+ samples. The good sensitivity, high reproducibility, and excellent selectivity of these nanosensors were also demonstrated. Furthermore, detection of Hg2+ in living breast cancer cells at the subcellular level is possible, thanks to the nanometric size of the herein described SERS nanosensors, allowing high spatial resolution and minimal cell damage.

Abstract
The development of novel materials for the detection and removal of Hg2+ is a very important issue due to the acute toxicity of Hg2+. Herein, a novel supramolecular polymer P5BD-DPHB has been constructed by the collaboration of a naphthalimide functionalized-pillar[5]arene host (P5BD) and a bis-bromohexane functionalized-pillar[5]arene guest (DPHB). P5BD-DPHB could form a stable supramolecular gel (P5BD-DPHB-G). Interestingly, P5BD-DPHB-G shows selective fluorescent "turn-on" detection for Hg2+via cation-π interactions with high selectivity and sensitivity. Furthermore, the Hg2+ coordinated supramolecular gel P5BD-DPHB-HgG can detect I- successively. The detection limits for Hg2+ and I- are 1.65 × 10-9 and 1.84 × 10-8 mol L-1, respectively. Even more significantly, the xerogel of P5BD-DPHB-G could remove Hg2+ from aqueous solution with excellent recyclability and ingestion capacity, and with a Hg2+ removal rate of 98%.

Abstract
A trivalent chromium (Cr(3+)) fluorescence probe (RhC) was designed and synthesized via Schiff base reaction based on rhodamine-crown ether conjugate. This probe displayed a favorable selectivity for Cr(3+) over a range of other common metal ions in DMF/H2O (3:7, v/v; PBS buffer 50 mmol L(-1); pH=6.8) solution, leading to prominent fluorescence "OFF-ON" switching of the rhodamine fluorophore. The limit of detection was calculated to be 1.5 μmol L(-1) (S/N=3). The binding ratio of RhC-Cr(3+) complex was determined to be 1:2 according to the Job's plot and HR-MS. The probe was successfully applied to examination of Cr(3+) in drinking water spiked samples. The average recoveries ranged from 104.9% to 106.9% at spiked concentration level of 10.00 μmol L(-1), and the obtained results were consistent with those obtained using atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS). Moreover, bioimaging experiments showed that RhC can sense the Cr(3+) in living cells with a fluorescence enhancement signal.

Abstract
It is significant to explore a rapid and highly sensitive galvanic replacement reaction (GRR) surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) method for detection of trace mercury ions. This article was reported a new GRR SERS analytical platform for detecting Hg(II) with label-free molecular probe Victoria blue B (VBB). In HAc-NaCl-silver nanorod (AgNR) substrate, the molecular probe VBB exhibited a strong SERS peak at 1609 cm(-1). Upon addition of Hg(II), the GRR occurred between the AgNR and Hg(II), and formed a weak SERS activity of Hg2Cl2 that deposited on the AgNR surfaces to decrease the SERS intensity at I1609 cm(-1). The decreased SERS intensity was linear to Hg(II) concentration in the range of 1.25-125 nmol/L, with a detection limit of 0.2 nmol/L. The GRR was studied by SERS, transmission electron microscopy and other techniques, and the GRR mechanism was discussed.

Abstract
Concerns over exposure to mercury have motivated the exploration of cost-effective, rapid, and reliable method for monitoring Hg(2+) in the environment. Recently, surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) has become a promising alternative method for Hg(2+) analysis. SERS is a spectroscopic technique which combines modern laser spectroscopy with the optical properties of nano-sized noble metal structures, resulting in substantially increased Raman signals. When Hg(2+) is in a close contact with metallic nanostructures, the SERS effect provides unique structural information together with ultrasensitive detection limits. This review introduces the principles and contemporary approaches of SERS-based Hg(2+) detection. In addition, the perspective and challenges are briefly discussed.

Abstract
Mercury being one of the most toxic heavy metals has long been a focus of concern due to its gravest threats to human health and environment. Although multiple methods have been developed to detect and/or remove dissolved mercury, many require complicated procedures and sophisticated equipment. Here, we describe a simple surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) active ZnO/Ag nanoarrays that can detect Hg(2+), remove Hg(2+) and can be fully regenerated, not just from Hg(2+) contamination when heat-treated but also from the SERS marker when exposed to UV as a result of the self-cleaning ability of this schottky junction photocatalyst. The sensors are also highly selective because of the unique way mercury (among other chemicals) interacts with Ag nanoparticles, thus reducing its SERS activity.
