Abstract:The detection, differentiation, and especially visual quantification of target compounds are important and interesting challenges for researchers.
“…Compared with various detection techniques, luminescent MOFs possess remarkable merits of rapid response, low cost, easy handing, high sensitivity and selectivity [11] . Numerous analytes including explosives, [12] oxoanion pollutants, [13] toxic anions, [14] cations, [15] small organic molecules, [16] biological molecules, [17] etc. have been determined by luminescent MOFs with high sensitivity and selectivity.…”
A novel metal‐organic framework (MOF) assembled by a semi‐rigid tricarboxylate, namely, 5‐(3,4‐dicarboxylphenoxy) nicotic acid (H3L) has been solvothermally synthesized: [Zn3(L)2(H2O)2] ⋅ 3H2O 1. Single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis indicates that MOF 1 shows 2‐D layer with quadrangle channels along the a axis (ca. 7.0×8.3 Å2). The 2‐D layer self‐assembles into a final 3‐D supramolecular network via the interlayer π⋯π interactions. The photoluminescence investigations indicate that 1 can selectively and sensitively detect acetylacetone (acac) with high KSV value of 3.597×104 M−1 and low limit of detection (LOD) of 50.77 ppb. Further mechanism studies have shown that static photo‐competitive absorption, photoinduced electron transfer and H‐bonding interaction between chemosensor and the analyte may be the primary causes of the fluorescence quenching effect for acac.

“…The structural properties of MOFs, particularly their crystallinity, allow for optimizing molecular surface areas and tailoring their structural features for specific purposes. Furthermore, we can benefit from their porosity if the pores are filled with water or a nonvolatile proton carrier. − However, in most cases, MOFs are used as precursors or templates for deriving porous carbons via pyrolysis. , For direct use of MOFs, various modifications should be applied in their pore size, conductivity, and so forth. One way to enhance MOF conductivity is to fabricate a hybrid composite using materials with higher conductivity, such as graphene. , Another solution to improve the MOF conductivity is to design and construct proton-conducting MOFs. , …”
The
current study aims to examine the charge storage mechanism
of an amine-decorated metal–organic framework (TMU-60), as
a supercapacitor electrode material, and explore the effect of proton
conductivity on the supercapacitive performance of this electrode.
To investigate the role of proton conductivity in charge storage capacity,
Na2SO4 was selected as the base electrolyte
at two pH levels (3 and 6). A high specific capacitance of 530 F·g–1 was achieved at 7 A·g–1 for
the aqueous electrolyte at pH = 3, while the specific capacitance
of the electrolyte decreased by 30% at pH = 6. The smaller sphere
radius of H+ than Na+ and its higher ionic mobility
in the narrow TMU-60 pores boosted charge transfer due to the higher
ion penetration into the electrolyte/electrode interface. Furthermore,
the presence of amines in proper orientation within the pores enhanced
ion transport and ion mobility. The results obtained from cyclic voltammetry
(CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy for the electrodes
at both pH values revealed that increasing the pH level elevated charge-transfer
resistance. The constructed framework could tolerate high ranges of
scan rates (200–1000 mV·s–1), and its
semi-rectangular CV curves displayed a capacitance retention of 92.3%
after over 4000 cycles.

[4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] CPs offer an endless variety of metal ion centers and connecting ligands (which can be redoxactive or -inactive and suitable for the construction of one-, two-, or three-dimensional networks), which is ideal for the construction of solid-state redox-active materials for diverse applications. Progress in the field of redox-active CPs is important for both fundamental and applied research, as these materials provide unique insights into charge transfer in the coordination space and exhibit features that may support the future development of useful apparatus.…”

Ferrocene and its derivatives, especially ferrocene-based coordination polymers (Fc-CPs), offer the benefits of high thermal stability, two stable redox states, fast electron transfer, and excellent charge/discharge efficiency, thus holding great promise for electrochemical applications. Herein, we describe the synthesis and electrochemical applications of Fc-CPs and reveal how the incorporation of ferrocene units into coordination polymers containing other metals results in unprecedented properties. Moreover, we discuss the usage of Fc-CPs in supercapacitors, batteries, and sensors as well as further applications of these polymers, for example in electrocatalysts, water purification systems, adsorption/storage systems.
