Figure S10. Fluorescence Intensity (380 nm, excited at 285nm) of nano-aggregates N1(25µ M) as a function of Hg2+ concentration. The calibration curve in this concentration range is linear. The standard deviation (σ) of the emission intensity without any Hg2+ was determined to be 0.7237. Therefore, the detection limit was determined to be 2.41 × 10-9 M according to the 3σ method.

Determination of the detection limit.
The detection limit (DL) of nano-aggregates of 1 for Hg2+ was determined from the following equation:
Where K = 3; Sb1 is the standard deviation of the blank solution; S is the slope of the calibration curve.
