A cyano-bridged Cu(i)-based organic framework coupled with the C–C bond cleavage of acetonitrile for selective and sensitive sensing of Fe3+ ions†
Abstract
A cyano-bridged Cu(I) organic framework based on [Cu6(CN)6]n was synthesized, in which cyano anions were generated in situ from the C–C bond cleavage of acetonitrile. The as-synthesized compound displays orange-red luminescence and is further proven to be a promising Fe3+ luminescent sensor with high selectivity and sensitivity.
