title: Chemodosimetric cyanide sensing in a 5,15-porphodimethene Pd(II) complex.
abstract: The Pd(II) complex of 5,15-porphodimethene is shown as a chemodosimetric sensor where it selectively senses cyanide ions, monitored through electronic spectral analysis and identified by the naked eye. The possible binding mechanism is also proposed based on the (1)H NMR analyses. Two polymorphs of the mentioned complex are obtained by using different polar solvents and further confirmed by single crystal X-ray analyses.
