Coordinatively unsaturated metal sites (CUS) are used to create dye-functionalized metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). The quenching of dye fluorescence through interactions with the CUS can be utilised for chemical sensing of Lewis bases that displace the dye from the CUS, resulting in a triggered turn-on fluorescence signal.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
