A novel
multilevel channel 3D network organic framework, [H3O]
[Mn3(CPCP)(CH3COO)(DMF)]·11H2O (Mn-MOF, CPCP = hexa-(4-carboxyl-phenoxy)-cyclotriphosphazene,
and DMF = dimethylformamide), was successfully synthesized. Interestingly,
Mn-MOF exhibited stimuli-responsive luminescence enhancement after
the encapsulation of 1,3,6,8-tetrakis(p-benzoic acid)
pyrene (H4TBAPy) stimulated luminescent intensity enhancement
through host–guest processes of the pores in MOFs, especially
for o-phenylenediamine and p-nitrobenzoic
acid. As a ratiometric luminescence “turn-on” sensor
for o-phenylenediamine detection, the transition from blue emission
to green emission is of great significance in visual fluorescence
detection. After adding p-nitroaniline and o-nitrophenol to the Mn-MOF@H4TBAPy solution,
the quenching efficiency was optimized. When the concentration of p-nitroaniline was 0.001 mol/L, the K
sv was 5.19 × 104 M–1, and
the detection limit was 2.04 μM. When the concentration of o-nitrophenol was 0.001 mol/L, the K
sv is 2.4 × 104 M–1, and
the detection limit is 4.28 μM. Therefore, Mn-MOF@H4TBAPy could detect p-nitroaniline and o-nitrophenol as a fluorescence sensor with “turn off”.
