Three colorimetric sensors S1, S2 and S3 based on azobenzene containing different numbers of active phenolic hydroxyl groups have been designed and synthesized. The sensors in CH₃CN exhibit high sensitivity toward F^-, H₂PO₄^- and AcO^-. The detection limit of S1, S2 and S3 was determined to be 1.25×10^-7~3.62×10^-7 mol/L for F^-. The sensitivity of sensors S1, S2 and S3 for anions were affected by the configuration, charge density and basicity of anions. ¹H NMR titration has been performed to study reaction mechanism, which was considered to be direct consequence of hydrogen-bonding between the phenolic group of sensor and anion.
