Oxygen sensing via phosphorescence quenching of doped metal–organic frameworks†
Abstract
Three phosphorescent Ir and Ru complexes containing dicarboxylate functional groups have been doped into the framework of Zr6O4(OH)4(bpdc)6 (UiO-67, bpdc = para-biphenyldicarboxylate) to yield stable metal–organic frameworks (MOFs 1–3) which are highly porous with BET surface areas of 2568, 2292, and 1277 m2 g−1, respectively. The 3MLCT phosphorescence of 1–3 can be effectively quenched by O2 to provide an efficient method for oxygen detection.
