A hexaphenylbenzene-based receptor 3 has been synthesized that forms a fluorescent spherical aggregate in mixed aqueous media due to its aggregation-induced emission enhancement attributes. These fluorescent spherical aggregates show ratiometric response toward cyanide ions via nucleophilic addition and undergo deaggregation to form smaller nanoaggregates. In addition, the solution-coated paper strips of 3 can detect cyanide ions in the range of similar to 2.6 ng/cm(2), thus, providing a simple, portable, and low-cost method for detection of cyanide ions in aqueous media. Receptor 3 also behaves as a set-reset memorized sequential logic circuit with chemical inputs of CN- ions and trifluoroacetic acid or H+ (pH <= 3).
