A novel highly selective chemosensor Z based on rhodamine B hydrazone derivatives was designed and synthesized, and it showed both colorimetric and turn-on fluorescence responses for CN- in an aqueous solution. The results showed that after adding CN- ions in aqueous solution, the chemosensor Z showed significant color change from colorless to pale-yellow, which was visible to the naked eye, and it rapidly produced strong green fluorescence. The probe could distinguish CN- by deprotonation and intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) mechanisms, as evidenced by H-1-NMR titration and DFT calculations. In addition, the detection limit of the fluorescence response of the sensor for CN- was 5.81 x 10(-8) M, which was measured by titration. The chemosensor Z has been successfully used to detect CN- in sprouting potatoes. Z-containing test strips have also been prepared, and they can be used as a colorimetric tool for CN- detection in potential applications.
