A multi-channel signaling cation sensor R had been achieved by covalently connecting ferrocene unit to the nitrogen (CN) containing binding site. Ferrocene-based sensor R was synthesized and characterized by spectroscopic methods and single crystal XRD. The chromogenic, flourogenic and electrochemical sensor study of R in CH3CN shows selective binding of Cu2+ ion. Inherently molecule R performs as molecular switch beyond the sensing role.
