Rational synthesis of an exceptionally stable Zn(ii) metal–organic framework for the highly selective and sensitive detection of picric acid†
Abstract
Based on an organic ligand involving both carboxylate and tetrazole groups, a chemically stable Zn(II) metal–organic framework has been rationally synthesized and behaves as a fluorescence chemosensor for the highly selective and sensitive detection of picric acid, an extremely hazardous and strong explosive.
