Abstract

A unique colorimetric chemosensor Hy-bp based on thiosemicarbazide was prepared. Hy-bp showed an obvious red-shifted spectrum and unique color change from colorless to deep green only for Fe2+. Detection limit for Fe2+ was 0.34 μM, which is the lowest among those of colorimetric chemosensors previously reported for Fe2+ in pure aqueous solution. Hy-bp can be utilized in paper strips and water samples as a colorimetric sensor for detecting Fe2+. The sensing mechanism of Hy-bp for Fe2+ was demonstrated by UV-vis spectroscopy, Job plot, FT-IR and 1H NMR titrations.
