A fluorochromic Eu-based MOF is developed for highly selective Zr(IV) detection. Leveraging the strong Lewis acidity of Zr(IV), competitive coordination to carboxylate sites induces framework dissociation, disrupts ligand-to-metal energy transfer, and produces a distinct red-to-blue luminescence shift, enabling sensitive and selective sensing with a detection limit of 333 nM.
