Colorimetric/Fluorescent Dual‐Mode Sensing of Mercury Ions and Solid‐Phase On‐Site Fast Detection Using AIE‐Active Coumarin Derivative TXDS

open access: yesAggregate, EarlyView.
We innovatively designed coumarin‐based probe TXDS, constructing superior AIE via intramolecular conformational regulation. TXDS enables sensitive Hg2⁺ detection (0.1–1 µM) with 100 nm Stokes shift and dual‐mode capability. Colorimetric sensing extends the range 10‐fold, combining a wide dynamic range with high sensitivity.
