Multifunctional luminescent Zr(IV)-MOF for rapid and efficient detection of vanillin, CrO42- and Cr2O72- ions

A calixarene-based coordination cage as an efficient luminescent sensor for Fe3+, MnO4−, NB and 2,4-DNP in aqueous medium

“…PCCs have attracted great attention because of their intriguing structures and widespread applications in gas storage 18,19 and separation, 20,21 catalysis, [22][23][24] drug delivery 25 and guest encapsulation. [26][27][28] Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have proved to be excellent fluorescent sensors and have been widely used to detect cations, [29][30][31][32] anions, [33][34][35] nitrogen-containing compounds 36,37 and organic molecules 38,39 in the environment. However, as a typical unit for an infinitely connected MOF, PCCs serving as fluorescent probes have rarely been discussed.…”
