A single-step emulsion approach to prepare fluorescent nanoscale coordination polymers for bioimaging

Abstract

A crystalline nanoscale coordination polymer (NCP) based on fluorene and Zr4+ was synthesized through a simple microemulsion method. The emulsion method is facile and convenient for NCP production, the nanoparticles are fluorescent and thermal-stable, and most importantly, they are in nanoscale thus making them applicable for bioimaging.
