“…They have attracted this attention not only because of their diverse architectures, but also because of their potential luminescent sensor applications for detecting cations [1,2], anions [3,4], small molecules [5], gases and vapors [6], biomolecules [7], temperature [8,9], and so on [10,11]. Compared with other luminescent sensors, Ln-CPs based luminescent sensing materials have been a rapidly developing area due to their outstanding merits such as high surface area, easily designed crystal structures, stable frameworks, and permanent porosity, as well as exposed active sites [12][13][14]. Recently, the zwitterionic type of organic ligands have drawn our attention [15,16], which simultaneously bear positive and negative charges with a certain separated distance on the coordination skeleton endowing special physical properties, for example, improved adsorption selectivity of gases or vapors [17].…”
