A novel double-walled Cd(II) metal–organic framework as highly selective luminescent sensor for Cr2O72− anion

Metal-Organic Frameworks Based Sensor Platforms for Rapid Detection of Contaminants in Wastewater

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a type of multifunctional material with organic-inorganic doped metal complexes that have a lot of unsaturated metal sites and a consistent network structure. MOFs work has great performance for enhancing the mass transfer, signal, and sensitivity as well as analyte enrichment. This study highlights the recent advancements of MOFs-based sensors for pollutant detection in a water environment and summarizes the effect of various synthetic materials on the performance of MOFs-based sensors. The related challenges and optimization techniques have been discussed. Then the research results of various MOFs sensors in the detection of wastewater pollutants are analyzed. Finally, the challenges facing MOFs-based water sensor development and the outlook for future research are discussed.

Deep-Red Luminescent Cuprous-Lead Bromide as a Dual-Responsive Sensor for Fe3+ and Cr2O72

Both optically active 1-tetrazole-4-imidazole-benzene (TIB) with bifunctional azole groups and heterometals were utilized to build a new type of one-dimensional (1-D) hybrid cuprous-lead bromide [PbCu₂Br₄(TIB)₂]_n (1), which exhibits infrequent deep-red luminescent emission at 704 nm with a large Stokes shift of 321 nm. Owing to the existence of rare free Lewis basic imidazole groups, 1 can be used as the sole dual-responsive luminescent sensor for the efficient and selective detection of Fe³⁺ and Cr₂O₇^2- in an aqueous solution.

Syntheses of a series of lanthanide metal–organic frameworks for efficient UV-light-driven dye degradation: experiment and simulation

Three Ln-MOFs show unique 3,8-connected 3D networks and have been used as photocatalysts for the degradation of organic dye methyl violet under UV light.

A new 3D four-fold interpenetrated dia-like luminescent Zn(ii)-based metal–organic framework: the sensitive detection of Fe3+, Cr2O72−, and CrO42− in water, and nitrobenzene in ethanol

A four-fold interpenetrating Zn-MOF as a multi-responsive fluorescent sensor for Fe³⁺, Cr₂O₇²⁻, and CrO₄²⁻ ions in water, and NB in ethanol is reported.

A Zn(ii) metal-organic framework based on bimetallic paddle wheels as a luminescence indicator for carcinogenic organic pollutants: phthalate esters

Based on the multifunctional ligand 3-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)isophthalic acid (H2TIA), a three-dimensional coordination polymer, namely {[Zn(TIA)]·DMA} n (Zn-1) was synthesized solvothermally. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses confirmed that Zn-1 is a 3D framework composed of binuclear Zn2 paddle wheels with one-dimensional channels long the a direction. Further topological analyses revealed that MOF Zn-1 existed as a (3,6)-connected rtl binodal net {4·62}2{42·610·83}. Furthermore, the luminescence explorations indicate that complex Zn-1 is the first MOF for luminescent probing of phthalate esters (carcinogenic organic pollutants) with a high quenching-efficiency constant and low fluorescence-detection limit.

Two luminescent coordination polymers as highly selective and sensitive chemosensors for CrVI-anions in aqueous medium

Two luminescent coordination polymers with considerable stability in aqueous media were synthesized. Sensing experiments indicate that they can serve as highly selective and sensitive fluorescent probes toward Cr^VI-anions.
