Dual-response fluorescence sensing of H 2 PO 4 - and CO 3 2- using AJP filter paper based on a pH-stable Cd II -based luminescent metal-organic framework.

A new Cd-based luminescent metal-organic framework (LMOF) with the formula {[Cd(BIBT)(NDC)]·solvents} (JXUST-32, BIBT = 4,7-bi(1-imidazol-1-yl)benzo-[2,1,3]thiadiazole and HNDC = 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid) was successfully synthesized by a solvothermal method. JXUST-32 shows a two-dimensional (4,4)-connected network and exhibits significant fluorescence red shift and slight enhancement for HPO and CO sensing with detection limits of 0.11 and 0.12 μM, respectively. In addition, JXUST-32 has good thermal stability, chemical stability and recyclability. Significantly, JXUST-32 represents a fluorescence red-shift dual response MOF sensor for HPO and CO detection and the analytes can be identified by the naked eye, aerosol jet printing filter paper, light-emitting diode beads and luminescent films.
