Abstract

Two new three-dimensional (3D) LnIII metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) were designed and successfully obtained via a solvothermal reaction between lanthanide(III) nitrates and a semi-flexible carbazole tetracarboxylate acid linker as a high-performance chromophore. 1 and 2 possess porous 3D networks with channels along the a axis, and more importantly, they show a highly sensitive and selective fluorescence quenching response to Fe3+ and CrVI anions. The sensing mechanism investigation revealed that the weak interactions of Fe3+ with nitrogen atoms of carbazole and deprotonated carboxylic acids protruding into the pores of MOFs quenched the luminescence of 1 and 2 effectively. In addition, the competition absorption also played an important role in the luminescence quenching detection of Fe3+ based on 1, and CrVI anions based on 1 and 2. Therefore, 1 and 2 represent an alternative example of regenerable luminescence based sensors for the quantitative detection of Fe3+ and CrVI anions.

Keywords: Ln-MOFs; chromophores; luminescent sensors; metal-organic frameworks; recyclable.
