Unconventional OFF–ON Response of a Mono(calix[4]arene)-Substituted BODIPY Sensor for Hg(2+) through Dimerization Reversion

Sumario:[Image: see text] A new selective fluorogenic chemosensor for Hg(2+), which combines a calixarene derivative with a BODIPY core as a fluorescent reporter, is described. The remarkable change in its fluorogenic properties in DMSO and CHCl(3) has been analyzed. A study of its spectral properties on dilution, along with molecular modeling studies, allowed us to explain that this behavior involves the formation of a J-dimer, as well as how the sensing mechanism of Hg(2+) proceeds.
