A cinnamaldehyde‐based colorimetric chemosensor TAA (N′‐((1E,2Z)‐3‐(4‐(dimethylamino)phenyl)allylidene)thiophene‐2‐carbohydrazide) was newly developed. TAA can detect Cu 2+ and Hg 2+ ions by different color changes from pale yellow to deep yellow and orange, respectively, in aqueous media. TAA differently binds to Cu 2+ as a 1:1 ratio and Hg 2+ as a 2:1 ratio. The detection limits towards both analytes turned out to be 0.08 μM for Cu 2+ and 0.01 μM for Hg 2+ . Moreover, TAA could successfully quantify Cu 2+ and Hg 2+ in tap and drinking water. The detection processes of TAA towards Cu 2+ and Hg 2+ were demonstrated by using DFT calculations.
