Mercury Quick Test

The invention intends to provide coumarin based nickel-dithiolene complexes, to selectively detect mercury (II) ions in the organism. Based on a Ditholen-ligand, molecules have been developed which can be used to determine the presence of heavy metal ions. Design, manufacture and the properties of a system based on a coumarin nickel dithiolene complex are described, which operates in the wavelength range of ~960 nm with high selectivity and sensitivity for mercury ions even in the presence of other metal ions (eg. Ag+, Al3+, Ca2+, Cu2+, Mg2+, Na+, Sn2+) that can be used in a simple UV / VIS spectroscopy.
