Stable Cd^II-Based Metal–Organic Framework as a Multiresponsive Luminescent Sensor for Acetylacetone, Salicylaldehyde, and Benzaldehyde with High Sensitivity and Selectivity

Abstract

A class of potential luminescent sensing materials has been gradually developed in the form of luminescent metal–organic frameworks (LMOFs). A new LMOF with the formula {[Cd(BBZB)(bptc)0.5]·2H2O} n (JXUST-33, BBZB = 4,7-bis(1H-benzimidazole-1-yl)-2,1,3-benzothiadiazole, H4bptc = biphenyl-3,3′,5,5′-tetracarboxylic acid) has been successfully constructed, which exhibits the stability of structure and effectiveness of luminescence. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies have shown that two adjacent CdII ions are linked by a bptc4– ligand in different directions to form a plane that is further linked by interlaced BBZB ligands to form a three-dimensional two-fold interpenetrating framework. JXUST-33 can be used as a fluorescent probe to identify various organic molecules and detect three different organic compounds by the fluorescence quenching behavior of its luminescence properties. In addition, mixed substrate films based on JXUST-33 have been developed to achieve detection of acac, SA, and BZ via the naked eye, which has great potential for practical applications.

Two Water-Stable Zn(II) Coordination Polymers as Luminescent Sensors for Detection of Uric Acid in Serum, MnO4–, and Cr(VI) Oxo-Anions in Tap Water

“…However, there is no overlap for the emission spectra of two CPs with the absorption spectra of UA, and there are partial overlaps for the emission spectra of two CPs with the absorption spectra of MnO 4 – , CrO 4 2– , and Cr 2 O 7 2– . This suggests that the competitive absorption is an important reason for the luminescence quenching effects toward UA, MnO 4 – , CrO 4 2– , and Cr 2 O 7 2– . , Finally, there is almost no significant change in the luminescence lifetimes of 1 and 2 before and after adding UA, MnO 4 – , CrO 4 2– , and Cr 2 O 7 2– (Figure S22), indicating that the luminescence quenching effects toward UA, MnO 4 – , CrO 4 2– , and Cr 2 O 7 2– are static quenching processes …”

Fluorescent MOF and Its Gel Composite for the Fluorescence Recovery “Turn-On” Detection of Al3+ Ions and “Turn-Off” Detection of Oxo-Anions

“…In addition, the working process of the sensor is easy with a colorimetric response, and the sensor is portable. In this regard, compared to diverse fluorescence materials, − the coordination polymers (CPs) or metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) show its meritocracy toward the detection of numerous analytes. − MOFs have interesting structural features such as structural variety, host–guest complexation ability, , purposefully rooted reactive sites, , and ability to display structure–property relationship. − These important features render to perform as an effective sensory material. − Furthermore, the atomistically assigned functionalities assist in establishing of the sensing mechanism. Clearly the single crystallography , particularly, the single crystal to single crystal transformation is a brilliant technique to investigate the mechanism, but sometimes it is very challenging to get a single crystal structure of the sensor after analyte recognition. − It has been observed that by tuning the MOF network with Lewis basic or uncoordinated functionality, the sensitivity of the probe can be significantly improved. , Importantly, for multisensory materials, it is expected that the sensor should have the ability to rationalize diverse signal transduction.…”
