Highly selective and sensitive fluorescent chemosensor for femtomolar detection of silver ion in aqueous medium

The chemical sensing for the trace level detection of silver ion in aqueous solution still remains a challenge using simple, rapid, and inexpensive method. We report that thionine can be used as a fluorescent probe for the detection of Ag+ ion. The successive addition of Ag+ ion to the solution cont...
