Luminescent sensing from a new Zn(ii) metal–organic framework

Abstract

A new metal–organic framework having the formula (NH2(CH3)2)[Zn2(OAc)(L)]·0.5DMF (H4L = 2,5-di(3′,5′-dicarboxylphenyl)pyridine) (GDMU-3) has been synthesized and characterized. The net of GDMU-3 is uninodal and is closely related to the lvt net, which has the same Schläfli symbol of 42·84. GDMU-3 displays selective properties for the detection of nitrobenzene and Fe3+ ions. Remarkably, GDMU-3 exhibits an excellent capability to adsorb methylene blue with high selectivity. The present work indicates that GDMU-3 could be a potential candidate for developing novel luminescence sensors for the selective sensing of nitrobenzene which can be deployed for explosives, Fe3+ and organic dyes.
