Abstract: A novel Hg2+-selective chemosensor 3a with hemicyanine as colorimetric reporting group and NSe2 chelating unit as ion binding site was reported. The chemosensing behavior and the binding ability of 3a with metal ions was investigated by UV-Vis spectrometry. Chemosensor 3a shows specific Hg2+-selectivity in CH3CN/H2O (v/v, 1:1). The addition of Hg2+ made the absorption spectrum of 3a appear a new band around 410 nm. In addition, the color change of 3a-Hg2+ from rose red to light orange allows naked-eye detection of Hg2+.

Key words: Hemicyanine, Hg2+, Chemosensor, selenium
