A highly sensitive colorimetric probe for Cd2+, Hg2+ and ascorbic acid determination based on trithiocyanuric acid-AuNPs

In 40 mM NaCl solution, a highly sensitive and selective colorimetric detection of mercury ions, cadmium ions, and ascorbic acid is realized based on trithiocyanuric acid (TMT) functionalized gold nanoparticles.160
