title: Rational design of a highly reactive ratiometric fluorescent probe for cyanide.
abstract: A novel highly reactive ratiometric fluorescent cyanide probe was judiciously designed based on 2-formylacrylonitrile moiety as a new cyanide reaction site. A DFT study was conducted to rationalize the extremely high reactivity nature of the ratiometric fluorescent cyanide probe.
