This review considers the most recent advances in sensing highly toxic ions such as CN− and Hg2+. Specifically, probes bearing N-heterocyclic compounds for their proven versatility for applications in the development of chemosensors are analyzed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
