Abstract

9-[2-(1,4-Dioxa-7,13-dithia-10-azacyclopentadecyl)phenyl]amino-benzo[b]quinolizinium enables the unambiguous fluorimetric and polarimetric detection of Hg²⁺ in the close proximity of double-stranded nucleic acids without interfering background signals from the complexes of this compound with Hg²⁺ or DNA alone.
