摘要
Two novel rhodamine-based fluorescence enhanced molecular probes （RA1 and RA2） were synthesized, which were both designed as comparative fiuoroionophore and chromophore for the optical detection of Hg^2＋. The recognizing behaviors were investigated both experimentally and computationally. They exhibited high selectivity and sensitivity for Hg^2＋ over other commonly coexistent metal ions in CH3CN/H2O （1：1, V/V） solution. Test shows that hydroxy benzene of rich electron was beneficial to the chelate of Hg^2＋ with sensors. The detection limit was measured to be at least 0.14 p.mol/L. After addition of Hg^2＋, the color changed from colourless to pink, which was easily and hydrogel sensor. detected by the naked eye in both solution
