A simple and cost-effective colorimetric chemosensor with high selectivity was designed and synthesized. It can detect trace amounts of cyanide in food samples and be recycled for further use.
A simple, cost-effective, and highly selective colorimetric chemosensor, was designed and synthesized from 2,4-dinitrophenyl hydrazine and ethyl acetoacetate. The formation of the HL-1 ethyl-(E)-3-(2-(2,4-dinitrophenyl) hydrazono)butanoate was confirmed by spectral techniques. The receptor HL-1 was found to show a colorimetric response of the colour change from yellow to brown towards CN- ion, due to de-protonation and intra-ligand charge transfer. The receptor HL-1 interacts with cyanide in a 1:1 stoichiometric manner with a detection limit of 7.39 x 10(-7) M. Receptor HL-1 could be recyclable by treatment with TFA. The sensing behaviour of the receptor was further enunciated by computational studies and it's also be efficiently used to detect trace amounts of cyanide present in food samples such as cassava peel, apple seeds, kidney beans, tobacco, flax seeds, almond skin, and plum seeds. Moreover, HL-1 would be used for practical applications like visible colorimetric test kits such as cotton swabs, and test paper strips.
