Anion receptor 1 based on acylhydrazone has been designed and synthesized. UV-vis and $^1H$ NMR titration showed that receptor 1 is selective receptor for dihydrogen phosphate ($H_2PO_4{^-}$). Dihydrogen phosphate was complexed by the receptor 1 via at least 4 hydrogen bonding interactions, contributing from two amide N-Hs and two imine C-Hs. In addition, nitrogen in the aromatic ring could make 2 additional hydrogen bondings with OH groups in the dihydrogen phosphate. However, the receptor 1 could make only 4 hydrogen bonds with halides. Therefore, receptor 1 could bind anions through hydrogen bonds with a selectivity in the order of $H_2PO_4{^-}$ > $Br^-$ > $Cl^-$ in highly polar solvent such as DMSO.

The reaction of acetophenone 1-ureidoethylidenehydrazones 6 with a mixture of triphenylphosphine, carbon tetrachloride, and triethylamine in dichloromethane provides a general route to 1-(1-phenylethenyl)-5-(N-substituted amino)-1,2,4-triazoles 11 via the electrocyclization of the expected azino carbodiimide intermediates 9 to give the resonance stabilized azomethine imine 10a followed by a proton abstraction from the methyl group by amide anion. However, the same reaction of benzaldehyde 1-ureidoethylidenehydrazones 5 was unsuccessful. Under the same conditions, the reactions of benzaldehyde 1-N-acylureidoethylidenehydrazones 7 or acetophenone 1-N-acylureidoethylidenehydrazones 8 afforded 4H-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-c][1,3,5]oxadiazines 16 or 17 via the zwitterionic species 15, or a [4+2] intramolecular cycloaddition from the carbodiimide intermediates 14, respectively.

A simple colorimetric and fluorescent anion sensor 1 based on salicylimine showed a high selectivity and sensitivity for detection of cyanide in aqueous solution. The receptor 1 showed high selectivity toward $CN^-$ ions in a 1:1 stoichiometric manner, which induces a fast color change from colorless to orange and a dramatic enhancement in fluorescence intensity selectively for cyanide anions over other anions. Such selectivity resulted from the nucleophilic addition of $CN^-$ to the carbon atom of an electron-deficient imine group. The sensitivity of the fluorescence-based assay (0.06 ${\mu}M$) is below the 1.9 ${\mu}M$ suggested by the World Health Organization (WHO) as the maximum allowable cyanide concentration in drinking water, capable of being a practical system for the monitoring of $CN^-$ concentrations in aqueous samples.
