A new three‐dimensional Cd(II)‐organic framework [Cd(H2BDDA)]n based on fluorescent ligand, 4,4’‐([2, 2’‐bipyridine]‐6,6’‐diylbis(oxy) diphthalic acid(H4BDDA), has been successfully achieved. The obtained [Cd(H2BDDA)]n contained both fluorescent ligands and cadmium ions, thus showing multi‐responsive photoluminescence sensing properties. It can be used to detect Fe3+ with a sensitivity of 2.69 ppm in aqueous solution. For the fluorescence responses of [Cd(H2BDDA)]n dispersed in water solution with gradually increased p‐nitroaniline(p‐NA) and N‐methyl‐4‐nitroaniline (N−M‐4‐NA) concentrations, photoluminescence quenching can be detected even at a very low concentration of 0.68 ppm for p‐NA and 0.80 ppm for N−M‐4‐NA, which indicated that [Cd(H2BDDA)]n has an extremely high sensitivity to p‐NA and N−M‐4‐NA. To our best knowledge, [Cd(H2BDDA)]n is the first example of Cd(II) MOF based on the fluorescent ligand H4BDDA, which can be used for the detection of Fe3+ ions and NACs, especially for p‐NA and N−M‐4‐NA.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
