    Abstract:
    A fluorescent and colorimetric chemosensor for detection of cyanide ion based on a styryl quinoline derivative has been designed and synthesized. The chemosensor (E)-2-(4-mercaptostyryl)quinolin-8-ol L showed high selectivity for detection of cyanide over other anions such as F¯, Cl¯, Br¯, I¯, NO3¯, SCN¯, N3¯, ClO4¯, H2PO4¯, AcO¯, HCO3¯, SO42¯ and HSO4¯in aqueous solution. The chemosensor L displayed an immediate visible and fluorescence changes from nearly colorless to orange and greenish-blue to brick-red upon addition of cyanide ion respectively. It is more likely, these distinct changes can be attributed to hydrogen bonding interaction between phenol group and cyanide anion leading to a 1:1 binding stoichiometry following with deprotonation of phenol group. The detection limit for chemosensor L toward CN¯ was 2.73× 10-8 M. Thus, the chemosensor can be used efficiently and selectively for detection and monitoring of small amounts of cyanide ion in aqueous media.
