Abstract

A new sensor for Hg²⁺ and cysteine detection has been synthesized and tested. The sensor based on cinamaldehyde and pyrimidine absorbs visible light when exposed to Hg²⁺ and becomes colored. The sensor only changes color due to Hg²⁺ and does not change when exposed to some other metal ions. Calculations show the change in color is due to lowering of the HOMO-LUMO transition. Titrations show the sensor-Hg²⁺ complex is composed of two sensor molecules per Hg²⁺. The limit of detection for Hg²⁺ is 0.39 μM. The sensor-Hg²⁺ complex selectively responds to cysteine (Cys), but does not show a color change due to other amino acids. The limit of detection of Cys by the sensor-Hg²⁺ complex is 0.10 μM.
