In this communication, we wish to report the design, synthesis and real life application of new azomethine ligand, H2L, containing electron withdrawing groups. The prepared ligand was characterized using spectroscopic methods (IR, 1H NMR UV-Vis) as well as elemental analysis. Cu(II) complex of H2L was also prepared and characterized. The sensing ability of H2L towards various anions has been investigated qualitatively by visual examination of the anaions-induced color changes of the receptor in DMSO. .
