“…Consequently, the multi-functional MOFs with different dimensions (1D-3D) and interesting properties (luminescent sensing, dye adsorption, photocatalysis and proton conduction) may be constructed from the ligands and different metal ions. [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] In our previous work, a series of tetrazole-based carboxylic acids such as N-(1-carboxymethyltetrazole-5-yl)-N-(2 0 -carboxymethyltetrazole-5 0 -yl)amine, 11,12 1,3-bis(2-carboxymethyltetrazol-5-yl) benzene (H 2 L 1 ), [13][14][15] 1,4-bis(2-carboxymethyltetrazol-5-yl)benzene, 16 1,3,5-tri(2-carboxymethyltetrazol-5-yl)benzene, 2,14,[17][18][19] and 2-(5-(3pyridyl)tetrazol-2-yl)propionic acid (HL 2 ) [20][21][22][23][24] have been designed and successfully prepared. Their MOFs with Mg(II), Ca(II), Sr(II), Ba(II), Pb(II), Mn(II), Co(II), Zn(II), and Cd(II) ions have been synthesized and the related properties like luminescence, 2,11,16 thermal decomposition, 13,16,17,20,21,24 proton conduction 2 and anticancer activity 22,23,25 have also been researched.…”
