A new assembly derived from 2,3-dibromo-5,6,7,8-tetrafluoroquinizarin and sodium diethyl-carbamodithiolate, was prepared as an efficient $Fe^{3+}$ colorimetric chemosensor with high selectivity over other cations $Fe^{3+}$, $Na^+$, $Mg^{2+}$, $Pb^{2+}$, $Cd^{2+}$, $Ni^{2+}$, $Ca^{2+}$, $Cu^{2+}$, $Hg^{2+}$, $Zn^{2+}$ : from the dark blue to brown color change that is visible by eyes. This assembly produced large bathochromic shift of 228 nm in the presence of $Fe^{3+}$ compared with the corresponding absorption maximum of the parent dye.
