Water-soluble fluorescent probe for simultaneous detection of cyanide, hypochlorite and bisulfite at different emission wavelengths

A fluorescent probe that responds at distinct wavelengths upon exposure to cyanide, hypochlorite, and bisulfite was synthesized. As a result, an easy to apply analytical methodology was developed for the detection of these ions. The feasibility of this method was evaluated by theoretical calculations. The probe exhibited excellent solubility in the test solution (H2O: DMF = 99: 1, v: v) with low detection limits for cyanide, hypochlorite and...
