Dithioamide metal ion receptors on fluorescent lipid bilayers for the selective optical detection of mercuric ion

Abstract

Functionalized lipid bilayers with dithioamide receptors at the surface and pyrene labels in the hydrophobic interior showed a selective fluorescence response to mercuric ion with sensitivity limits at the ppb level.
