A new water-stable three-dimensional (3D) Eu(III) metal-organic framework with the formula of {[Eu3(BTDC)4(HCOO)(H2O)2]•solvents}n (JXUST-9) was successfully obtained by the solvothermal reaction of 2,1,3-benzothiadiazole-4,7-dicarboxylic acid (H2BTDC) and Eu(NO3)3•6H2O. The PXRD patterns...
Two
novel lanthanide metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) with
the formulas [Tb(bidc)(Hbidc)(H2O)]
n
(JXUST-20) and {[Tb3(bidc)4(HCOO)(DMF)]·solvents}
n
(JXUST-21) were synthesized based on 2,1,3-benzothiadiazole-4,7-dicarboxylic
acid (H2BTDC) under solvothermal conditions. Interestingly,
benzimidazole-4,7-dicarboxylic acid (H2bidc) was formed
in situ using H2BTDC as the starting material. The self-assembly
process of the targeted MOFs with different topological structures
can be controlled by the solvents and concentration of the reactants.
Luminescence experiments show that JXUST-20 and JXUST-21 exhibit strong yellow-green emission. JXUST-20 and JXUST-21 can selectively sense benzaldehyde (BzH)
via a luminescence quenching effect with detection limits of 15.3
and 1.44 ppm, respectively. In order to expand the practical application
of MOF materials, mixed-matrix membranes (MMMs) have been constructed
by mixing targeted MOFs and poly(methyl methacrylate) in a N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) solution, which
can also be used for BzH vapor sensing. Therefore, the first case
of MMMs derived from TbIII MOFs has been developed for
the reversible detection of BzH vapor, providing a simple and efficient
platform for the future detection of volatile organic compounds.
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.
