Thiazole-Formulated Azomethine Compound for Three-Way Detection of Mercury Ions in Aqueous Media and Application in Living Cells.

ABSTRACT: Heavy metal ions are extremely poisonous and cause long-term harm to living organisms. Among these ions, mercury is the most toxic metal and has no notorious purpose in the human body. In this regard, an elegant azomethine thiazole compound AM1 was synthesized, and it was found to be highly sensitive to three-way detection of mercury ions with detection limits of 0.1126 × 10^-9 M (FL) and 0.64 × 10^-6 M (UV-vis). AM1 highlighted the capability to detect mercury ions through the colorimetric method, the fluorometric method, and via the naked eye in three-way detection. In addition, the structure of AM1 was confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies and crystallized in a monoclinic crystal system with a P21/c space group, and
