The effective detection of Fe 3+ , Cr 2 O 7 2− , and picric acid (TNP) is of immense significance in chemical and environmental fields. In this paper, five novel luminescent Cd(II)-metal−organic frameworks (MOFs) (CUST-601−605) based on the ligand of 1-(9-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)anthracen-10-yl)-1H-1,2,4-triazole (tatrz) and a series of carboxylate ligands were synthesized via solvothermal reactions. CUST-601−605 are characterized by X-ray single-crystal diffraction, powder X-ray diffraction, and thermogravimetric analysis. CUST-601 and 605 show porous three-dimensional (3D) structures, and CUST-602 shows 2D network structures, with the ethanol molecules as the capping agents. CUST-603 and CUST-604 exhibit 3D and 2D structures, respectively, based on the controlled contents of organic ligands and capping agents. Luminescent experiments indicate that CUST-601, 602, and 604 show satisfactory sensitivity and selectivity for the detection of Fe 3+ , Cr 2 O 7 2− , and TNP. Further, CUST-603 and 605 are only used to determine Cr 2 O 7 2− and TNP sensitively. The MOF-based fluorescent sensors designed in this paper demonstrate the successful and feasible strategy to use anthracene-based ligands, which shows great potential in environmental detection applications.
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.
