Acylhydrazidate-based porous coordination polymers and reversible I2 adsorption properties

A dual luminescent sensor coordination polymer for simultaneous determination of ascorbic acid and tryptophan

Simultaneous high sensitivity detection of biomolecules is important for research in medicine, living cells and environmental samples. In this work, a water stable coordination polymer, [Cd₂(bptc)(4,4'-bpy)(H₂O)₃]ˑH₂O 1 (H₄bptc = 2,3,3',4'-biphenyl tetracarboxylic acid, 4,4'-bpy = 4,4'-bipyridine), was designed and successfully synthesized as a luminescent sensor for simultaneous recognition of Ascorbic Acid (AA) and L-Tryptophan (L-Trp) based on luminescent -OFF and -ON, respectively. Importantly, the proposed sensing system showed an excellent performance with high K_SV values of 4.85 × 10⁴ M^-1, 9.60 × 10⁷ M^-1 and low limit of detection (LOD) of 0.28 nM, 63 nM, respectively. In addition, the probable mechanisms are also discussed. The luminescent quenching behavior by AA can be mainly attributed to the static resonance energy transfer between complex 1 and the analytes. Whereas the enhancing effect of L-Trp comes from the intrinsic strong luminescence for L-Trp itself and photo-competitive mechanism between CP 1 sensor and L-Trp, supposedly. In addition, the repeatability of both systems were also investigated.

6,6′-(Perfluoropropane-2,2-diyl)bis(2,3-dihydrophthalazine-1,4-dione)-based coordination polymers and their sensing properties towards Cr2O72−

The structures of six new diacylhydrazidate-based coordination polymers were reported. Based on their better photoluminescence properties, their sensing abilities towards Cr2O₇²⁻ were investigated.
