No elaborate syntheses are required to generate colorimetric anion sensors. Rather, many commercially available chromophores (dyes) with built‐in hydrogen bond donor sites have been found to act as “off‐the‐shelf” anion indicators (see scheme). These species allow for the so‐called naked eye detection of fluoride, chloride, and phosphate anions under a range of conditions.
