Naphthalene-tagged highly stable and reusable luminescent metal–organic probes for selective and fast detection of 4-nitroaniline in water

Abstract

In this paper we report the synthesis, characterization, properties and application of four new Zn(II) and Cd(II) based luminescent metal-organic probes, {[Zn(mbhna)(bpea)]}n (1), {[Cd(mbhna)(bpea)]}n (2), {[Zn(mbhna)(bpba)].CH3OH.H2O}n (3) and {[Cd(mbhna)(bpba)]}n (4),...

A Multivariate 2D Metal–Organic Framework with Open Metal Sites for Catalytic CO2 Cycloaddition and Cyanosilylation Reactions

“…In our group, for the synthesis of such multifunctional MOFs, a three-component synthetic route has been adopted where the third component is neutral N-donor ligands. The third component not only provides an avenue to incorporate additional functional moieties in the framework but also limits and directs the binding modes of the carboxylates on the metal center, thereby controlling the structural features of the frameworks. − However, this desirable yet challenging scheme could only be achieved by maintaining certain parameters such as the ratio of three components, reaction conditions (temperature, solvent, pH, etc. ), and anions of the starting metal salts. − …”
