description

A highly sensitive, selective colorimetric and fluorometric molecular probe based on a subphthalocyanine dye has been developed for cyanide-anion determination in aqueous solution. It has also been shown that a carboxysubphthalocyanine derivative can be covalently anchored to transparent mesoporous nanocrystalline high-surface-area metal oxide films to detect low concentrations of cyanide anion in pure water with no interference from other anionic or cationic species.
