Abstract

A turn-on fluorescent probe IND-1 was designed for selective cyanide anion sensing in aqueous and biological environments. The probe underwent an intramolecular crossed-benzoin reaction in the presence of KCN to expel the fluorophore resorufin. This probe was sensitive to KCN concentrations as low as 4 nM in aqueous media.
