In addition to the significant effects of heavy metals on the human body and other organisms through water, food chain enrichment and other routes, heavy metals involved in daily necessities beyond the level limit could also affect people\u2019s lives, so the detection of heavy metals is extremely important. Ir (III) coordination compound, considered to be one of the best phosphorescent sensing materials, is characterized by high luminous efficiency, easy modification of the ligand and so on, and it has potential applications in the field of heavy metal detection. This project aims to product a new Ir (III) functional coordination compound by designing a new auxiliary ligand and a main ligand with a sulfur identification unit, in order to systematically investigate the application of iridium coordination compound in the detection of the heavy metal Hg2+. With the introduction of the sulfur identification unit, selective sensing of Hg2+ could be achieved. Additionally, a new auxiliary ligand is also introduced to produce a functional iridium coordination compound with high quantum efficiency, and to diversify the application of iridium coordination compound in this field.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph14101232","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,10,16]],"date-time":"2017-10-16T11:11:09Z","timestamp":1508152269000},"page":"1232","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":32,"title":["Design of Research on Performance of a New Iridium Coordination Compound for the Detection of Hg2+"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Hailing","family":"Ma","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Science, Jinggangshan University, Ji\u2019an 343009, China"},{"name":"College of Chemical Engineering and Biological Engineering, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310000, Zhejiang, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6988-5829","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sang-Bing","family":"Tsai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Zhongshan Institute, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, Zhongshan 52800, Guangdong, China"},{"name":"Economics and Management College, Civil Aviation University of China, Tianjin 300300, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,10,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"121","article-title":"Impact assessment of heavy metal pollution on soil mite communities (Acari: Mesostigmata) from zlatna depression-transylvania","volume":"108","author":"Minodora","year":"2016","journal-title":"Process Saf.
