    Abstract:
    Cyanide is a highly toxic substance, and the detection of cyanide in the environment and food samples is critical to public health care. Herein, we rationally designed a mitochondria-targeted near-infrared fluorescent probe BTC for ratiometric monitoring of CN- in water, food, living cells, and zebrafish. BTC exhibits a remarkable colorimetric ratiometric fluorescence response to CN- with high selectivity, low detection limit (54.3 nM), and large Stokes shift. The cyanide sensing mechanism was demonstrated by NMR and ESI-MS analysis and density functional theory (DFT). More importantly, BTC was used for efficient naked-eye colorimetric detection of CN- in sprouting potatoes, almonds, and ginkgo fruit samples. Further, the BTC is capable of situ tracking and imaging cyanide in mitochondria of SMMC-7721 cells and in zebrafish via dual emission channels, and was prepared into a kit for convenient and visual on-site sensing of cyanide in food samples.
