'Colorimetric detection of Hg2+ with an azulenecontaining chemodosimeter via dithioacetal hydrolysis', <em>The Analyst</em>, vol. 145, no. 19, pp. 6262- 6269.
Abstract
A simple azulene-dithiane gives a selective colorimetric response to mercury(ii) in both mixed and purely aqueous solvent, which is clearly visible to the human eye.
