Current research on metal−organic framework (MOF) luminescent sensing probes focuses on the design of three-dimensional bulk-sized MOFs that in return limits their up-close interactions with targeted guest molecules. In this work, we report a two-dimensional (2D) copper-based metal− organic framework, namely, AUBM-6, synthesized via solvothermal method from isonicotinic acid linker and copper(II) ion. The resulting 2D-layered MOF crystals were highly fluorescent in their exfoliated form and, therefore, explored for detecting several solvents, where a ratiometric selectivity was shown toward acetone. Metal ion sensing was also performed, by which fluorescent detection was observed to have the highest turn-off quenching efficiency toward Pd 2+ .
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.
