The development of high-throughput and accurate analytical methods is highly important from the viewpoint of environmental monitoring or medicinal applications. In this regard, much attention has been paid to chemosensor arrays inspired by a mammalian olfactory system, because they can offer the simultaneous detection of various analytes. However, high effort is required for the synthesis of chemosensors, which might prevent generalization and mass production in industry. Toward that end, we propose an easy-to-prepare colorimetric chemosensor array only using commercially available materials. As an actual approach, the simultaneous detection of metal ions is herein reported.
