A novel acetate selective anion sensor 3 based on azophenol and mercapto thiadiazole had been designed and synthesized. Sensor 3 behaves a single selectivity and sensitivity in the recognition for AcO?/sup> anion over other anions such as F?/sup>, Cl?/sup>, Br?/sup>, I?/sup>, H2PO4?/sup>, HSO4?/sup> and ClO4?/sup> by naked-eyes and UV–vis spectra changes in aqueous solution (H2O/DMSO, 5:5, v/v). The color of the solution containing sensor 3 had an obvious change from colorless to orange only after the addition of AcO?/sup> in aqueous solution while other anions did not cause obvious color change. 1H NMR titration results revealed that the binding process includes two steps: (i) hydrogen bonding interactions (for small quantities of acetate) and (ii) proton transfer between the sensor 3 and the coordinated anion (for high quantities of acetate). The association constant Ka was 7.35 × 103 M?. The detection limitation of AcO?/sup> with the sensor 3 was 1.0 × 10? mol L?.
