Abstract: Two colorimetric sensors, derived from pentaerythrityltetramine and salicylaldehyde (1) or o-vanillin (2), had been synthesized. Both sensors showed selective colorimetric sensing ability for Fe(Ⅱ) and Fe(Ⅲ) by changing color from light yellow to either orange or purple when immersed in water samples. The sensors coordinated to Fe(Ⅲ) with 1:1 stoichiometry, as has been confirmed from the results of LC-MS spectrometry and UV-Vis spectrum titration. The detection limits of sensors 1 (0.19 μmol·L-1) and 2 (0.21 μmol·L-1) are lower than the WHO guideline (5 μmol·L-1) in drinking water.
