Luminescent metal–organic framework-functionalized graphene oxide nanocomposites and the reversible detection of high explosives†
Abstract
Achieving both high specificity and sensitivity are essential for gas phase chemical detection systems. Recent implementation of Metal–Organic Frameworks (MOFs) have shown great success in separation and storage systems for specific gas molecules. By implementing a MOF structure comprised of Zn2+ coordinated trans-stilbene derivatives, a gas responsive material has been created which exhibits a high photoluminescence quantum yield, offering new opportunities for chemical sensors. Here, we reveal a nanocomposite material, assembled from
