method. The limit of detection of cyanide, cobalt and mercury
as 5.8 × 10− 7 M, 3.6 × 10− 7 M and 8.1 × 10− 7 M respectively
which were lower than the permissible level given by World
Health Organization (WHO). Job’s pot titration shows 1:1
binding ratio for cyanide, cobalt and mercury. The receptor
was effectively applicable in the construction of logic gates.
