The application of one kind of metal−organic framework (MOF) material used in multiple fields is one of the most interesting research topics. In this work, four new tetranuclear cluster-based lanthanide metal−organic frameworks (LnMOFs) [Ln 2 (BTDB) 3 (DMA)(phen)] n (Ln = Tb TbMOF, Eu EuMOF, Gd GdMOF, Tb 1.830 Eu 0.170 Tb,EuMOF, 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)-4′,4″-dicarboxytriphenylamine = H 2 BTDB, 1,10-phenanthroline = phen) are obtained based on the ligand of H 2 BTDB that is synthesized in our laboratory, and the precise single-crystal structure of H 2 BTDB is obtained for the first time. The white phosphor was obtained by facilely hybridizing two components of the orange-yellow emission phosphor of Tb,EuMOF and the blue luminescence material of triphenylamine according to the trichromatic theory. At the same time, TbMOF, EuMOF, Tb,EuMOF, and the white phosphor can be used for information encryption, demonstrating their potential application in the field of anti-counterfeiting. Tb,EuMOF is also a multi-mode and selfcalibrating thermometer within a broad temperature range of 110−300 K. Further studies show that EuMOF is a rapid response sensor for Fe 2+ , with a very low limit of detection of 2.0 nM, which is much lower than the national standards for Fe 2+ (GB 5749-2005, 5.357 μM). It can achieve strong anti-interference detection of Fe 2+ in actual samples of tap water and lake water. In addition, EuMOF can also be made into an easy-to-use sensing device of test paper for real-time and visual sensing of Fe 2+ .
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.
