A stable porous anionic metal-organic framework for luminescence sensing of ln(3+) ions and detection of nitrobenzene

Chem Asian J. 2014 Mar;9(3):749-53. doi: 10.1002/asia.201301531. Epub 2014 Jan 8.

Abstract

A hexagonal channel-based porous anionic metal-organic framework was successfully constructed. IFMC-3 is stable in air and acidic/basic aqueous solutions at room temperature, and constitutes a selective luminescent sensing material for Ln(3+) ions and a recyclable probe for the sensitive detection of nitrobenzene.
