Popis: A new selective fluorogenic chemosensor for Hg2+, which combines a calixarene derivative with a BODIPY core as a fluorescent reporter, is described. The remarkable change in its fluorogenic properties in DMSO and CHCl3 has been analyzed. A study of its spectral properties on dilution, along with molecular modeling studies, allowed us to explain that this behavior involves the formation of a J-dimer, as well as how the sensing mechanism of Hg2+ proceeds.
