title: A CN- specific turn-on phosphorescent probe with probable application for enzymatic assay and as an imaging reagent.
abstract: A new "turn-on" luminescence probe for imaging the uptake of 0.2 ppm inorganic CN(-) in live HeLa cells as well as for probing the CN(-) generation through an enzymatic process in a virtual aqueous medium at appropriate pH.
