A new 2D homochiral zinc coordination polymer (Zn-CP) with 52-member rings was synthesized by solvothermal method. X-ray single crystal diffraction results show that the initial ligand (H2ibga = (4-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)benzyl)-L-glutamic acid) cyclized and crystallized in monoclinic with space group P2 after coordination with zinc(II) ions. Phase purity and thermal stability of Zn-CP were verified by X-ray powder diffraction (PXRD) and thermogravimetric (TG), respectively. Additionally, Zn-CP can recognize tetracycline (TC), Fe3+ and ascorbic acid (AA) rapidly and selectively in aqueous solution, with low detection limits (LODs) of 3.49 nM, 4.42 nM and 0.38 µM, respectively. The detection mechanisms have been investigated in detail.
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.
