Two d10 luminescent metal–organic frameworks as dual functional luminescent sensors for (Fe3+,Cu2+) and 2,4,6-trinitrophenol (TNP) with high selectivity and sensitivity†
Abstract
Two luminescent 3D supramolecular structures [Cd3(L)2(2,2-bipy)2](DMF)3(CH3CH2OH)2(H2O) (1) and [Zn3(L)2(2,2-bipy)2(DMF)2](DMF)2(CH3CH2OH)2(H2O) (2) (H3L = 4,4′,4′′-nitrilotribenzoic acid) have been successfully synthesized under solvothermal conditions using Cd(NO3)2·4H2O or Zn(NO3)2·6H2O as the metal sources, and 4,4′,4′′-nitrilotribenzoic acid (H3L), 2,2-bipy as the ligands in DMF solvent. Compound 1 displays a bi-nodal (2,3,6)-coordinated net with {83}2{86·126·163}{8}6 topology, compound 2 can be described as a (3,6)-connected 2-nodal net with kgd topology. The phase purity of compound 1 and 2 is characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. Compound 1 and 2 can serve as effective luminescent sensors for Fe3+, Cu2+ and TNP via luminescent quenching.
