The present study describes an efficient chromogenic probing ability possessed by an azo linkage that could sense Ni, Fe, and Co in the semi-aqueous medium. The chromogenic sensing properties of the four azo dyes were studied towards Fe(III), Co(II), and Ni(II) ions, the IR and UV-VIS spectral data revealed that the nitrogen and oxygen atoms of –N=N-, C=O and –OH groups participated in bonding with the metal ions. Also, an obvious change in the color of the azo dyes A and B solution from yellow to dark brown in the case of Fe+2 metal ions and Co+2 and Ni+2 colorless solutions appeared yellowish, while the addition of other metal ions did not cause any color change. These results imply that the two azo dyes are viable, portable chromogenic chemosensors for the detection of Fe (III), Co (II), and Ni (II) ions in various biological and environmental fields.
