The sensing ability toward the metal ions of Mo 5 +, V 4+ , Cr 3+ , Al 3+ , Zn 2+ , Cd 2+ , Hg 2+ , Cu 2+ , Ni 2+ , Co 2+ , Mn 2+ , Sn 2+ , Pb 2+ , Fe 3+ , Fe 2+ , K + , Ag + , Mg 2+ , Ca 2+ , Ba 2+ and Na + was investigated in mixture of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and water (H 2 O) (2/8, v/v) solvent. The L is used as a colorimetric chemosensor for the detection of Fe 2+ and Fe 3+ ions, by a rapid and significant color change from yellow to brown and brownish red Respectively, by the naked eye and at room temperature. Also, the limit of detection (LOD) was obtained 0.45 µM for Fe 2+ and 0.68 µM for Fe 3+ . Job’s plots indicated a 1:2 complexation stoichiometry between the sensor (L) and Fe ions. Moreover, the sensor (L) demonstrated reversible behavior upon the addition of EDTA. This probe (L) could be prepared into test paper strips for visual detection of Fe 2+ and Fe 3+ ions at room temperature.
