A new multifunctional anionic 3D Zn(ii)-MOF based on heptanuclear clusters: selective adsorption of organic dyes and a dual-emitting sensor for nitroantibiotics

Abstract

A multifunctional anionic Zn-MOF, formulated as {[NH2(CH3)2][Zn7(3-OH)3(L)6(H2O)3]·3H2O·6DMA}n (1) (where H2L = 6-methoxy-2,2'-sulfone-4,4'-dicarboxylic acid, DMA = dimethylacetamide) has been solvothermally synthesized, which is based on rarely heptanuclear [Zn7(3-OH)3(COO)12] clusters possessing large...
