Heterogeneous colorimetric sensor for mercuric salts
Literature Information
Emilio Palomares, Ramón Vilar, James R. Durrant
A novel chemical sensor for the colorimetric detection of mercuric salts is described. The sensor is based on a mesoporous nanocrystalline TiO2 film sensitised with a ruthenium dye; immersion of this film in an aqueous solution of Hg2+ results in a rapid colorimetric response, with both a high selectivity and a sub-micromolar sensitivity.
