A simple benzothiazole‐based fluorescent probe ( TDA ) for the determination of Hg 2+ ion in aqueous solutions was synthesised in one step and characterised by 1 H NMR , 13 C NMR , APT , COSY , FTIR , and elemental analysis. TDA shows a significant fluorescence change upon the interaction of Hg 2+ ion in DMF –water (v/v = 1/1), while only minor changes in fluorescence intensity are observed with 18 other metal ions. Fluorescence enhancement by a factor of 15 is achieved upon selective interaction with Hg 2+ ion. The Hg 2+ ion detection process is found to be pH dependent; therefore, TDA could be feasible within a pH range of 4.0–7.0.
