Anion-induced two stable isostructural Cd(ii) LMOFs based on benzotriazole with the highly selective detection of Fe³⁺ ions

Abstract

Two new title LMOFs, [Cd9(BTA)6(5-tbuip)6O2]n (LMOF-1), [Cd3(BTA)2(5-tbuip)2]n (LMOF-2) (BTA=1H-Benzotriazole, 5-tbuip=5-tert-Butylisophthalic Acid) have been synthesized by solvothermal method. The different anions of cadium salts lead to isostructural two LMOFs. Fe3+ could...
