DFT/TD-DFT study on development and optimization of 1- anilino-3- phenyliminourea as a colorimetric chemosensor for Hg2+ recognition in aqueous medium

Mercury is a toxic metal that can be found everywhere - it is used in many products of our daily life and mercury contamination usually cannot be detected by any of the five human senses. Continuous exposure to mercury has severe implications neurologically, gastrointestinally and with respect to re...

description Mercury is a toxic metal that can be found everywhere - it is used in many products of our daily life and mercury contamination usually cannot be detected by any of the five human senses.
