Simple hemicyanine dyes were synthesized by a classical condensation reaction. The structures of these dyes were characterized by H-1 NMR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and FAB-Mass spectrometry. The sensing behavior of the hemicyanines towards a selection of anions was investigated by UV-vis absorption spectroscopy. These structurally simple dyes displayed a rapid response and high selectivity for cyanide ion over other common anions in the DMSO/H2O solution. Different sensing mechanism of the dyes to cyanide ion were confirmed by H-1 NMR studies, together with theoretical calculations based on DFT and PPP-MO methods. These dyes show no colorimetric response for other anions investigated. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
