    Abstract:
    In this paper, we demonstrated a highly selective colorimetric chemodosimeter for cyanide anion detection. This chemodosimeter having a triphenylimidazole group as a fluorescent signal unit and a dicyano-vinyl group as a reaction unit was synthesized by the Knoevenagel condensation of 4-(4,5-diphenyl-1H-imidazol-2-yl)benzaldehyde with malononitrile in a reasonable yield. The probe exhibited an intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) absorption band at 420 nm and emission band at 620 nm, respectively. Upon the addition of cyanide anion, the probe displayed a blue-shifted spectrum and loss in color due to the disruption of conjugation. With the aid of the fluorescence spectrometer, the chemodosimeter exhibited a detection limit of 0.11 μM (S/N=3). Interferences from other common anions associated with cyanide anion analysis were effectively inhibited.
