A Cd(ii)-based metal–organic framework as a luminance sensor to nitrobenzene and Tb(iii) ion

Abstract

A Cd(II)-based metal-organic framework, [Cd2(DPDC)2(BTB)]∞ (Cd-MOF, DPDC = 2,2'-diphenyldicarboxylate and BTB = 1,4-bis(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)butane) was successfully constructed via a hydrothermal reaction. Structural analysis shows that the synthesized Cd-MOF is a three-dimensional (3D) architecture crystallized in the hexagonal system with a chiral space group P61. Powder X-ray diffraction experiments and thermogravimetric analysis reveal that the constructed Cd-MOF has a high chemical and thermal stability. A study of additional mechanical properties indicates that it exhibits a moderate stiffness with the average values of Young's modulus (E) and H as 11.3(2) and 0.9(7) GPa, respectively. The luminescence properties of the Cd-MOF were further studied. The result shows that it could be an effective sensor to the organic nitrobenzene molecule via a strong quenching effect, and also to the inorganic Tb(III) ion by a strong green emission effect. Moreover, when loading bimetal ions (Eu(III) and Tb(III) into the Cd-MOF/methanol suspension, tunable visible luminescence can also be achieved by carefully adjusting the excitation wavelengths.

“…Additionally they have been employed as sensors for the detection of cations, anions and small molecules as well . Several coordination polymers with fluorescent organic ligands are known, which exhibit good sensitivity towards the guest molecules …”

A fourfold interpenetrating diamond-like three-dimensional zinc(II) coordination polymer: synthesis, crystal structure and physical properties

“…Among them, the deliberate selection of organic ligands containing appropriate coordination groups plays a crucial role in the formation of desirable structures (Marshall et al, 2015). Recent studies indicate that many organic ligands, including N-donor and carboxylate ligands, have been used in the construction of novel CPs (Qu et al, 2016). Due to its versatile bridging modes via two carboxyl groups, furan-2,5-dicarboxylic acid (H 2 FDC) has been shown to be a good bridging ligand for the construction of novel CPs (Bu et al, 2015;Singh & Nagaraja, 2014;Wang et al, 2017).…”

A new two-dimensional CoII coordination polymer based on bis[4-(2-methyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)phenyl] ether and biphenyl-4,4′-diyldicarboxylic acid: synthesis, crystal structure and photocatalytic degradation activity

“…The deliberate selection of organic ligands containing appropriate coordinating groups plays a crucial role in the formation of desirable structures (Marshall et al, 2015). In recent years, a variety of organic ligands have been used incorporating Ndonor and carboxylate O-donor ligands, as well as a combination of these two types of groups (Qu et al, 2016). Biphenyl-4,4 0 -diyldicarboxylic acid (H 2 BPDC) as a multidentate carboxylate ligand provides the versatility of both single and bridging coordination to generate novel coordination polymers (Jiang et al, 2017;Rachuri et al, 2017;Shi et al, 2017;Wang et al, 2017).…”
