The prompt naked eye colour change (yellow to orange) and noteworthy fluorescence enhancement of VDP3 in the presence of CN<sup>-</sup> avowed that VDP3 was an exemplary probe for detecting CN<sup>-</sup> with a low detection limit of 0.4 µM. The NMR studies infer that deprotonation followed by nucleophilic addition is the probable sensing mechanism for detecting CN<sup>-</sup> by VDP3. The faint fluorescence of VDP3 was owing to the photoinduced electron transfer (PET), and the nucleophilic addition of CN<sup>-</sup> intervenes with the PET and consequently enhances the fluorescence significantly. The VDP3 selectively detects Al(III) by forming the chelate octahedral complex [Al(VDP3)(H<sub>2</sub>O)<sub>3</sub>] as witnessed by the <sup>27</sup>Al-NMR, <sup>1</sup>H-NMR, and mass spectral studies with a LOD of 0.14 µM.

The experimental findings and expected sensing mechanism for detecting CN<sup>-</sup> and Al(III) were upheld by the computational studies, and they provide robust evidence for the PET ON and PET OFF mechanisms to explain the fluorescence enhancement behaviour further.
