“…Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), constructed by self-assemble of organic ligands and metal ions or metal nodes, − have drawn increased attention due to their potential applications in gas storage, molecular separations, and chemical sensing, as well as catalysis . Especially, MOFs have attracted great attention in the field of ratiometric fluorescence sensing. − Considering that the luminescence of MOFs could originate from ligands, metal ions, the charge interaction between ligands and metal ions, and guest molecules, the multiple emission centers of MOFs can be mainly obtained by introducing single or multiple lanthanide ions, , luminescent guest molecules, , carbon dots, Ru(bpy) 3 2+ , and different organic linkers, along with lanthanide-based MOFs (Ln-MOFs) with single organic ligand and lanthanide ions. , Among them, most of the strategies generally require a complex post-synthetic modification process; thus, Ln-MOFs that are synthesized directly can be constructed as an ideal ratiometric fluorescence platform.…”
