Zinc(II) and lead(II) metal-organic networks driven by a multifunctional pyridine-carboxylate building block: Hydrothermal synthesis, structural and topological features, and luminescence properties

Carbon dots@metal–organic frameworks as dual-functional fluorescent sensors for Fe3+ ions and nitro explosives

Two novel dual-functional fluorescent composites were prepared, which exhibit excellent fluorescence sensing capabilities for Fe³⁺, p-NT and 2,4-DNP.

Dual emissions and thermochromic luminescences of isomorphic chiral twofold interpenetrated 3-D nets built from I1O2 type hybrid inorganic–organic frameworks of [NH2(CH3)2]3[Pb2X3(BDC)2] (X = Br, I)

Two pairs of isomorphic chiral twofold interpenetrated 3-D nets were built from I¹O² type hybrid inorganic–organic frameworks and show dual emissions and thermochromism.

Intense greenish phosphorescence emission under ambient conditions in a two-dimensional lead(ii) coordination polymer with a 1,1′-ethynebenzene-3,3′,5,5′-tetracarboxylate ligand

A new 2D Pb²⁺-based coordination polymer emits intense greenish phosphorescence in the solid state under ambient conditions with a quantum yield of 1.5% and a phosphorescence lifetime of 4.17 ms.
