Dansyl-labelled cellulose as dual-functional adsorbents for elimination and detection of mercury in aqueous solution via aggregation-induced emission

Solid-State Fluorescent Organic Polymers for Visual Detection and Elimination of Heavy Metals in Water

“…Dansyl chloride was chosen to be the fluorophore due to its robust optical characteristics that encompass near UV absorption, fluorescence in the visible region with a substantial Stokes shift, and the ability of its emission spectra to respond sensitively to chemical surroundings . Various studies have been conducted on the detection of different metal analytes, as well as the removal of individual analytes by a dansyl-functionalized polymer. − However, this research introduces a novel approach by developing an organic polymer linked to dansyl-tagged dithiocarbamate. This polymer has the ability to detect and simultaneously remove multiple metal ions from water.…”
