In the current study, a polydiacetylene (PDA)‐based sensor, derived from a chelidamic acid‐picolylamine (CP)‐substituted diacetylene monomer, displayed a selective colorimetric and fluorometric change in the presence of cadmium (Cd 2+ ) at pH 7.4. The PDA−CP solutions showed a colorimetric change from blue to violet in response to various amounts of Cd 2+ . The chemosensor also showed a rapid fluorescence turn‐on response and significant selectivity to Cd 2+ compared with other metallic cations. The Cd 2+ ‐selective PDA‐based sensor system facilitated the visual detection of Cd 2+ in aqueous solution. The Cd 2+ detection limit of PDA−CP was reduced to 1.85×10 −5 M.
