Investigation of mercury poison in aquatic environment is an immense area of research interest to the scientific
community due to its role in chemical, industrial, food and toxicity. Most of the energy generation and metal refining power
plants release mercury in to the aquatic environment and slowly converted to methyl mercury by bacterial action, which can
induce serious neurological disorders to humans by consuming these sea foods. We report an ecofriendly amide polymer based
sensor which acts as a sensor to trace mercury present in water, which makes the water free from such kind of toxic ion by
simple binding. The sensor is prepared in such a manner that consists of a peculiar urea group on either end of the polymer. The
metal-ion binding are analyzed through monitoring with nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy which clearly shows the shift
for various anions to the core of the sensor.
