Molecular Chemical Sensors are important tools in many of applied fields. They play an important role in detection of significant species of great impact in the environmental, medicinal, forensic biological and industrial processes. We have studded organic probes as selective and sensitive anion sensors. Glucosamine Schiff bases were synthesized, purified and identified using various spectroscopic techniques. Visual, UV-vis and fluorescence methods were used to characterize the probes as anion sensors. They showed high selectivity and sensitivity for cyanide over other interfering anions such as fluoride, chloride, bromide and acetate. The binding constants, stoichiometry, and detection limits were determined. The applicability in real sample was tested in cassava and living cells. In this presentation, the design and construction of a cyanide molecular probe will be described.
