The newly synthesized cyclotriphosphazene cored coumarin chemosensors 5, 6, and 7 were successfully characterized by
1
H NMR,
31
P NMR, and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. Additionally, the photophysical and metal sensing properties of the targeted compounds were determined by fluorescence spectroscopy in the presence of various metals (Li

) . The fluorescence titration results showed that compounds 5, 6, and 7 could be employed as fluorescent chemosensors for Fe
3+
ions with high sensitivity. The complex stoichiometry between final cyclotriphosphazene chemosensors and Fe
3+
ions was also determined by Job’s plots.
