Abstract
A fast, sensitive, selective, and biocompatible dual sensor of an antineoplastic medication (methotrexate) and a neurotransmitter (adrenaline) is still being searched by present-day scientists. To overcome this issue, we have designed a functionalized, robust, bio-friendly luminescent MOF for the sensitive, selective, and rapid monitoring of methotrexate and adrenaline. This probe is the first ever reported MOF-based fluorescence sensor of methotrexate and second only for adrenaline. This fluorescence probe has a very low limit of detection (LOD) of 0.34 and 11.2 nM for adrenaline and methotrexate, respectively. The sensor can detect both the targeted analytes rapidly within 5 s. It can also detect adrenaline and methotrexate from human blood serum and urine accurately and precisely. This reusable sensor is equally efficient in detecting methotrexate from environmental water specimens. Biocompatible, user-friendly, and inexpensive chitosan@MOF@cotton composites were fabricated for the detection of adrenaline and methotrexate from the nanomolar to the micromolar range by the naked eye under a fluorescence lamp. This probe displayed high reproducibility, precision, and accuracy in sensing methotrexate and adrenaline. Fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) and the inner filter effect (IFE) are the possible mechanisms for adrenaline and methotrexate sensing, respectively. The possible mechanism was supported by using required instrumental techniques and theoretical simulations.

Abstract
The metal-organic framework (MOF) Hf-DUT-52 was prepared with diamino functionality by the solvothermal method. This material displayed fluorometric sensing ability toward a nerve agent simulant (diethyl chlorophosphate (DCP)) and 3-diethylaminophenol (3-DEAP). It is the first-ever reported fluorescent MOF sensor for DCP and 3-DEAP. Apart from a fast response (<5 s), the sensor had a very low detection limit for both DCP and DEAP (limit of detection (LOD) values for DCP and 3-DEAP sensing were 9 and 125 nM, respectively). The obtained detection limit is the second lowest among all of the reported optical sensors for DCP. The sensor also displayed its capability to identify the presence of trace amount of DCP in various natural water specimens with good selectivity. Moreover, MOF@cotton composites were developed for visual, on-site, nanomolar-level detection of both targeted analytes. Furthermore, a MOF@PVA thin film was fabricated and successfully utilized for the detection of highly volatile and deadly poisonous DCP in the vapor phase. The sensor was also recyclable for up to five cycles without losing appreciable efficiency. Density functional theory (DFT)-based periodic and cluster calculations were performed to shed light on the sensing ability of the MOF by studying the interactions of DCP and DEAP with the MOF. Our theoretical results reveal the importance of linker defects and water chemisorption on the adsorption/complexation of the analytes at uncoordinated Hf sites.

Abstract
A biocompatible, reliable, fast, and nanomolar-level dual-functional sensor for a neurotransmitter (e.g., adrenaline) and an anti-cancer drug (e.g., 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP)) is still far away from the hand of modern-day researchers. To address this issue, we synthesized an aqua-stable, bio-friendly, thiourea-functionalized Zr(IV) metal-organic framework (MOF) for selective, rapid sensing of adrenaline and 6-MP with ultra-low limit of detection (LOD for adrenaline = 1.9 nM and LOD for 6-MP = 28 pM). This is the first MOF-based fluorescent sensor of both the targeted analytes. The sensor not only can detect adrenaline in HEPES buffer medium but also in different bio-fluids (e.g., human urine and blood serum) and pH media. It also exhibited 6-MP sensing ability in aqueous medium and in various wastewater specimens and pH solutions. For the quick and on-site detection of this neuro-messenger (adrenaline) and the drug (6-MP), cost-effective sensor-coated cotton fabric composites were fabricated. The MOF@cotton fabric composite is capable of detecting both the analytes up to the nanomolar level by the naked eye under UV light. The sensor can be recycled up to five times without significantly losing its efficiency. The Förster resonance energy transfer in the presence of adrenaline and inner-filter effect in the presence of 6-MP are the most likely reasons behind the quenching of the MOF's fluorescence intensity, which were proved with the help of appropriate instrumental techniques.

Abstract
Two novel 2D lanthanide metal-organic frameworks (Ln-MOFs), namely {[Eu2(DBTA)3(DMF)2]·DMF}n (1) and {[Tb2(DBTA)3(DMF)2]·DMF}n (2) (H2DBTA = 2,5-dibromoterephthalic acid), have been successfully synthesized by the solvothermal method. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction results proved that the complexes possess the same topological structure of a (42·6)2(42·84)(47·63)2-connected net. The recognition of CN- from interfering anions with a low detection limit by "turn-off" luminescence makes them promising candidates for the highly selective and sensitive detection of the cyanide ion. The Ln-MOFs 1 and 2 exhibit excellent chemical sensing properties for CN- with efficiency, selectivity, and excellent performance in various mixed anions. The evaluation parameters, including the quenching constant and detection limit, have been investigated to obtain the detection performance for CN-.
