Metal-organic frameworks are a class of attractive materials for fluorescent sensing. Here, we report the exploration of fluorescent Zn-based amine/azine-functionalized MOF, TMU-17-NH2, ([Zn(NH2-BDC)(4-bpdb)].2DMF; NH2-BDC = amino-1,4-benzenedicarboxylic acid, 4-bpdb = 1,4-bis(4-pyridyl)-2,3-diaza-2,3-butadiene) for highly selective and sensitive detection of Fe 3+ in DMF solution. TMU-17-NH2 shows fast recognition of Fe 3+ ion with a response time of <1 min and detection limit of 0.7 µM (40 ppb), and the luminescence is completely quenched in 10 -3 M DMF solution of Fe 3+ . Furthermore, no interferences from 250 μM As 3+ , Cd 2+ , Zn 2+ , Co 3+ , Ni 2+ , Cu 2+ , Pb 2+ , Mn 2+ and Al 3+ were found for the detection of Fe 3+ , which suggests that the functionalized TMU-17-NH2 is a promising luminescent probe for selectively sensing iron ions.
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.
