The identification of CN– in water, seeds, and biological systems has, because of its high toxicity, attracted the increasing attention of many chemical industry researchers. In the work, a novel highly selective and reversible sensor, MMY, was shown to recognize CN– effectively. The color and fluorescent changes verified the interaction of MMY with CN–, and the fluorescence lifetime of MMY was also changed upon addition of CN–. A mode of interaction of MMY with CN– based on the results of various experiments was speculated. The LOD of MMY toward CN– was 9.4 × 10–¹⁰ M, lower than the concentration of CN– deemed acceptable by the WHO (World Health Organization) and the U.S. EPA (United States Environmental Protection Agency). MMY showed good reversibility and reusability for detecting CN–. In addition, test slips and silica plates were both earned by ourselves, which were able to recognize CN– qualitatively. Additionally, MMY could recognize CN– in tap water quantitatively with the use of a smartphone APP. Interestingly, MMY was also used to detect CN– in seeds. It was valid to image CN– in Caenorhabditis elegans and mice with a vivid “turn-on” fluorescence. MMY thus can circulate in the bloodstream.
