Heat-resistant Pb(ii)-based X-ray scintillating metal–organic frameworks for sensitive dosage detection via an aggregation-induced luminescent chromophore†‡
Abstract
The synergy of unusual X-aggregation induced luminescent chromophores and heavy Pb(II) ions has facilitated excellent X-ray scintillation of two structurally similar Pb-SMOFs, which are heat-resistant due to solvent-free lattices. Owing to their higher Pb(II) contents, Pb-SMOFs with larger X-ray absorption coefficients are more sensitive for X-ray dosage detection than powdered CsPbBr3.
