Based upon highly selective and irreversible Hg 2+ ‐promoted deprotection of the dithioacetal reaction, a new water‐soluble “turn‐on” fluorescent chemosensor ( 1 ) was prepared and exhibited high selectivity and sensitivity towards the Hg 2+ ion over other heavy and transition‐metal ions in pure water by transforming a weakly fluorescent precursor (colorless) to a highly fluorescent aldehyde (yellow–green; see figure) with a 155‐fold increase in fluorescent intensity.
