Design and sensing applications of metal–organic framework composites

In situ green preparation and antibacterial activity of copper-based metal–organic frameworks/cellulose fibers (HKUST-1/CF) composite

“…Metal-organic framework materials (MOFs), which consist of metal ions with bridging organic linkers and have two-or three-dimensional structures (Rowsell and Yaghi 2004;Davydovskaya et al 2014;Khan and Jhung 2015), have been a hot topic with a wide variety of compositions and reported by many journals in all kinds of application such as removal of toxic gas and hazardous organics (Barea et al 2014;DeCoste and Peterson 2014;Hasan and Jhung 2015), separation of methylene blue (Lin et al 2014;Wang et al 2014), sensing device and absorption of gas such as CO 2 and methane (Vicent-Luna et al 2013;Lei et al 2014;Sun et al 2014;Kim et al 2015). Very recently, MOFs have also shown activity in bacteria restraint derived from metal ions.…”

A luminescent Terbium-Succinate MOF thin film fabricated by electrodeposition for sensing of Cu2+ in aqueous environment

“…Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), also known as porous coordination polymers (PCPs) have attracted many chemists' interest owing to their fascinating structural topologies and potentials in functional applications [1], such as molecular filter, gas storage [2,3], energy storage [4] and luminescent sensor [5,6]. Among the various kinds of MOFs, Lanthanide metal-organic frameworks (Ln-MOFs) as sensing materials for pollutant detection, such as poisonous gases, organic solvents, and heavy metals, have recently received increasing attention because of the advantages of short response time and high sensitivity towards specific analytes [7].…”

Distinctions of positional isomers of N-(methylthiazol-2-yl)nitrobenzamide by copper and iron ions

“…Sensing of metal ions by various polydenate ligands [1][2] and the analytical chemistry of metal ions with small molecules as analytes have relevance in present-day research [3][4][5].…”
