A new squaraine based chemosensor TSQ was developed for colorimetric detection of Fe<sup>3+</sup> ions. A thymine moiety in TSQ was constructed to act as an ion acceptor. The sensor displayed an instant colorimetric response specific to Fe<sup>3+</sup> over the other metal ions in 20% AcOH-H<sub>2</sub>O solution. The limit of detection was much lower than that of the environmental protection agency guideline (5.37 μM) in drinking water. A 1 : 1 binding between TSQ and Fe<sup>3+</sup> ion was ev ...[more]
