Dimensional regulation of lanthanide metal–organic frameworks and their application in bacterial detection†
Abstract
Low-dimensional (LD) lanthanide metal–organic frameworks (Ln-MOFs) have attracted considerable attention in different fields due to their exceptional optical properties and numerous accessible active sites. Through the dimensional regulation effect of dipicolinic acid (DPA), a new LD Ln-MOF crystal is synthesized to monitor nitroreductase (NTR) activity in living bacteria.
