Abstract

A new sensitive and selective red fluorescence 'turn on' chemosensor 1 for Hg2+ was developed by taking advantage of AIE feature of triphenylamine-triazines motif and the specific binding of thymine with Hg 2+. Moreover, chemosensor 1 exhibited large two-photon absorption cross-section (3328 GM).
