Supramolecular chemistry is an emerging field of chemistry which has attracted much attention in recent years as a result of its broad applicability in many areas. Thus, the design of functional supramolecular systems is strongly in demand in this field. For this purpose, we have developed near-IR emitting ratiometric fluorescent chemosensors for transition metal ions. Judicious placement of dithiodioxaazamacrocycles on the BODIPY chromophore generates this chemosensor which is selective for Hg(II) ions and both absorption and emission spectra display large changes that would allow ratiometric sensing.
