Recent advances in structures and applications of coordination polymers based on cyclohexanepolycarboxylate ligands

Coordination polymers (CPs) are emerging crystalline materials constructed by metal entities and organic ligands through coordination bonds, containing infinite coordination units in one, two, or three dimensions. Here an overview...

Four dual-functional luminescent Zn(ii)-MOFs based on 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylic acid with pyridylbenzimidazole ligands for detection of iron(iii) ions and acetylacetone

Four Zn-MOFs with different topological types were synthesized and characterized, MOFs 1–4 have excellent sensitivity, selectivity, recyclability and structural stabilities for detecting acac/Fe³⁺ in the naked eye range.

Two new luminescent Cd(ii)-based coordination polymers by regulating the asymmetrical tetracarboxylate and auxiliary ligands displaying high sensitivity for Fe3+ and CrO42−

The results showed luminescence spectra with emission intensities significantly quenched towards Fe³⁺ and CrO₄²⁻. The low concentrations of the two ions indicate high sensitivities of the synthesized compounds towards analytes.
