description In this study, 2-(3-(hexyloxy)-5-methylphenoxy)-N-(4-nitrophenyl)acetamide (sensor L1) was synthesized and characterized by FT–IR, ESI–MS, <sup>1</sup>H and <sup>13</sup>C NMR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and single crystal X-ray techniques. The crystal structure and space group of sensor L1 was monoclinic and <i>P</i>2<sub>1</sub>, respectively. The crystal packing of sensor L1 was dominantly linked by two strong hydrogen bonds forming a six membered ring pattern. The binding properties of sensor L1 and various anions (F<sup>−</sup>, Cl<sup>−</sup>, Br<sup>−</sup>, CH<sub>3</sub>COO<sup>−</sup>, C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>5</sub>COO<sup>−</sup>, and H<sub>2</sub>PO<sub>4</sub><sup>−</sup>) were investigated by UV–Vis and <sup>1</sup>H NMR spectroscopy in DMSO. The proton resonance signals of sensor L1 and F<sup>−</sup> greatly changed positions when compared to those of anions. The solution color of sensor L1 changed from pale yellow to orange in the presence of F<sup>−</sup>. The UV–Vis results indicate that sensor L1 and F<sup>−</sup> ions underwent an internal charge transfer process. The stoichiometric complex was confirmed by Job’s method, revealing a 1:1 formation for sensor L1 and fluoride. Our results show that sensor L1 is highly selective for fluoride ions over other anions.
