Abstract
Research on design and development of artificial molecular sensor for recognition and sensing of anion is currently attracting much interest because anion plays many fundamental roles in chemical and biological process [1]. In recent year, increasing attention in the field of host-guest chemistry has been devoted to the fast development of anion recognition system. The development of fluorescent and colorimetric probes for anion is finely and an area of interest. Water soluble anions (one of them is cyanide) play crucial roles in a range of biological phenomenan and are implicated in many disease states [2]. Cyanide is traditionally known as a poison and has been used in mass homicides and suicides and as a weapon of war. Sodium and potassium cyanide salts are widely used in many industries like extracting prosess for the recovery of gold and silver, electroplating, dyeing, printing and in the synthesis of organic and inorganic chemicals (nitriles, amides, esters and amines) as well as producting of chelating agents [3]. The cyanide anion (CN) is known as one of the most rapidly acting and powerful poisons [4]. It is an extremely toxic anion and can directly lead to the death of human beings in several minutes. The cyanide ion also detrimentally affects vascular, visual, central nervous, cardiac, endocrine and metabolic functions. However, cyanide toxicity, large quantites of cyanide salt are still widely used in industrial production [5].
