Smartphone-assisted dual-mode cyanide ion sensing in environmental and biological matrices using a triphenylamine-quinoline-conjugated chromogenic receptor.
This work presents the efficient recognition of the hazardous chemical cyanide ions (CN- ions) using a newly designed organic molecule-based fluorescent receptor, (E)-4-(4-(diphenylamino)styryl)-1-propylquinolin-1-ium (TAME). CN- ion detection occurs via nucleophilic addition to the styryl group, inducing distinct elec...
