Silver nanotriangles (AgNTs) were successfully synthesized as a colorimetric probe for selective and sensitive histidine detection in aqueous media within a 15-100 µM range and a detection limit of 330 nM using UV-Vis spectroscopy. The interaction of HgCl 2 with AgNTs would lead to the formation of disk-shaped Ag/Hg amalgam as observed from the transmission electron images and X-ray diffraction patterns. Histidine prevents these structural and morphological changes and accordingly, the detection approach was developed based on the correlation between the histidine concentration and the in-plane dipole plasmon resonance (DPR) intensity.
