A new fluorescent sensor 5 based on a fused imidazopyridine scaffold has been designed and synthesized <i>via</i> cascade cyclization. The reaction features the formation of three different C-N bonds in sequence. Imidazopyridine based fluorescent probe 5 exhibits highly sensitive and selective fluorescent sensing for Fe<sup>3+</sup>('<i>turn-on</i>') and Hg<sup>2+</sup>('<i>turn-off</i>'). The excellent selectivity of imidazopyridine for Fe<sup>3+</sup>/Hg<sup>2+</sup> was not hampered in the pr ...[more]
