Portable cyanide monitoring using a benzothiazolium-based ratiometric fluorescent probe coupled with smartphone imaging, test strips, and living cell imaging.
Real-time monitoring of highly toxic cyanide (CN-) using low-cost and visually detectable fluorescent probes is essential for minimizing its environmental and biological hazards. Herein, a novel benzothiazolium-based donor-π-acceptor (D-π-A) fluorescent probe (MBT) was developed for the sensitive and selective detectio...
