Abstract A novel Schiff base has been derived from condensing 4‐aminoantipyrine with diazotized salicylaldehyde. The derived compound acted as a colorimetric sensor for hazardous aqueous anions like CN − , F − , and CH 3 COO − among a list of anions. The colorimetric changes were further verified through absorption titrations. The detection limits were of the order of 10 −10 M, which makes the sensor significant. The interaction of the anions with the sensor was stoichiometrically 1:1 with good binding constants. The sensor turns out to be a specific turn‐on emission sensor for CN − even in competitive environments. The F − ion sensing ability was extended to the determination of F − in a commercial toothpaste with good results.
