As one of the most toxic heavy metals, mercury ions cause severe environmental and health problems even at very low concentrations. In consequence, methods for the sensitive sensing of mercury ions are of current interest1. Due to its unique advantages, such as high sensitivity, low cost and fast detection, fluorescent probes have been one of the most important sensing methods for mercury ion detection. Among the fluorescent molecular probes reported the BODIPY dyes tend to be strongly UV-absorbing small molecules that emit relatively sharp fluorescence peaks with high quantum yields
