A stable nanoscaled Zr-MOF for the detection of toxic mycotoxin through a pH-modulated ratiometric luminescent switch

Abstract

A stable nanoscaled single-excitation ratiometric luminescent pH sensor (MPDB-PCN) over a broad pH range from 2.5 to 8.6 is fabricated through post-synthetic modification of PCN-224 with naphthalimide-derived molecules. Due to the rapid, sensitive and linear response to pH, MPDB-PCN is capable of detecting 3-nitropropionic acid (3-NPA), an acid neurotoxin in food safety, with a low detection limit of 15 μM in sugarcane juice.
