The invention discloses a detection method for selectively recognizing the Fe3+ capacity. The method comprises the following steps of respectively preparing a standard solution of acetonitrile with the concentration of 2*10<-5>mol / L of Ag+, Ca2+, Cd2+, Co2+, Cr3+, Cu2+, Fe3+, Hg+, Hg2+, K+, Mg2+, Mn2+, Na+, Ni2+, Pb2+ and Zn2+, and arranging 1ml of the standard solution into a cuvette; adding a probe solution into each cuvette, standing the cuvette, wherein the cuvette with Fe3+ is rapidly changed to be colorless. By adopting the method, not only can the F3+ be recognized in an organic solvent, but also the Fe3+ can be sensitively recognized in the buffering aqueous solution, the CN- with high toxicity can be recognized on the basis, and the fluorescent probe after being processed by utilizing the method can be primarily used for fluorescently recognizing Fe3+ in a cell body.
