Four phenanthroimidazole ferrocene derivatives (2a-2d) were designed, synthesized and characterized by H NMR, C NMR and high-resolution mass spectroscopy (HRMS). Recognition of 12 anions by 2a-2d was investigated by UV-Vis absorption analysis, showing that 2b and 2d sensed BO selectively among the tested anions with an obvious color change observed. H NMR titrations and theoretical calculations demonstrated that 2b binds BO through O⋯H hydrogen bonding and O⋯B interactions between the nitro moiety and the BO anion.
