Two novel chemosensors (2a and 2b) were synthesized by facile condensation of the binding unit ( l ‐histidine) and the fluorophores (anthracene and dansyl groups). Both of them displayed high selectivity and sensitivity towards Fe 3+ over other metal ions in aqueous solution. The sensing mechanism was based on the paramagnetic property of Fe 3+ that would lead to fluorescence quenching of the fluorophores when Fe 3+ was bound to the recognition units. The results showed that l ‐histidine was a good coordination motif for Fe 3+ and both the anthracene and dansyl groups can sensitively report the sensing information.
