“…125 Also, lately, combining NIR persistent luminescent NPs with HKUST-1 MOFs, a multifunctional core-shell nanostructure was synthesized for FL-free NIR Pearl imaging, chemodynamic therapy and PTT synergistic therapy. 126 Furthermore, the first multifunctional lanthanide-MOF, named JXUST-11, containing Eu 3+ ions and benzothiadiazole linkers (H2BTDB), was prepared by Li's group as a naked-eye fluorescent probe to recognize Ga (III) ions and effective imaging tool for the detection of Al(III) and Ga(III) ions in biological cells. 127 Numerous studies have been reported for the fabrication of luminescent metal-organic frameworks (LMOFs) utilizing of luminescent connector organic ligands or metal ions/clusters (exclusively fluorescent lanthanoid ions), 128,129 followed by their integration with photosensitizers 130 and loading of organic fluorescent dye molecules, upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs), 131 persistent luminescent nanoparticles (PLNPs), 132 quantum dots (QDs), 133 or carbon nanodots (C-dots) in MOFs through a post-combinatory method 134 for various bioimaging applications.…”
