Abstract: Afiber-optic iron reflected sensor has been developed by immobilizing pyrocatecholdisulfonic acid on Amberlyst A-27.The formation of the FeHLcomplex between iron ion and immobilized pyrocatedisulfonic acid caused a large reflected intensity change at 485 nm,which was due to a sharp change in colour of the reagent phase from white to violet,and iron ion in the solution can be determinated.The sensor has a higher sensitivity as well as good reversibility and has been applied to the determination of water samples. The reaction mechanism was also preliminary studied.
