Detection of SO2 using a chemically stable Ni(ii)-MOF†
Abstract
The MOF-type Ni2(dobpdc) shows a high chemical stability towards SO2, high capacity for SO2 capture at low pressure (4.3 mmol g−1 at 298 K and up to 0.05 bar), and exceptional cycling performance. Fluorescence experiments demonstrated the SO2 detection properties of Ni2(dobpdc) with a remarkable SO2 detection selectivity. Finally, time-resolved photoluminescence experiments provided a plausible mechanism of SO2 detection by this Ni(II)-based MOF material.
