An ultrasensitive catalytic method for metal ions and cyanide-containing organic compounds

TL;DR: In this paper, the detection and determination of cyanide-containing organic compounds and various metal ions were described based on either on the hydrolysis of the organic compounds to give cyanide ion, which then catalyzes the reduction of o-dinitrobenzene via formation of the cyanohydrin anion of p-nitrobenzinaldehyde, or on the inhibition of this catalytic reaction by silver-(I), mercury(II), copper, copper, cobalt, nickel, zinc, and cadmium(II) which form cyanide complexes.
