In this experimental and theoretical study, a new pyrene‐pyrazole based chemosensor, 5‐Methyl‐1H‐pyrazole‐3‐carboxylic acid pyren‐1‐ylm ethylene hydrazide ( MpcphH) , is designed and prepared for selective sensing of Hg 2+ . Photophysical studies, including UV‐vis and fluorescence, showed that MpcphH exhibited high selectivity and sensitivity in response to Hg 2+ with detection limit in the nano molar range. The 1 H and 13 C−NMR spectroscopic techniques are presented to elucidate the coordination modes of MpcphH towards Hg 2+ . The relative stability of the ketoimine/imineol tautomers and the specific rotamer responsible for Hg 2+ coordination are evaluated by means of DFT calculations. Furthermore, MpcphH provides a reliable approach to monitor cellular cytoplasmic Hg 2+ in HepG2 cells.
