A Luminescent Metal-Organic Framework as a Turn-On Sensor for DMF Vapor

摘要

Metal-organic framework (MOF) materials, crystalline materials constructed from metal ions and organic ligands, have been an active research area since the beginning of this century. Various MOF systems have been established for the purpose of gas storage, gas separation. heterogeneous catalysis, and small-molecule sensing. Other possible applications of MOF materials are also emerging as researchers explore new metal-ligand combinations, such as proton-conducting MOFs for fuel cells and MOF thermometers/61 Of all the MOF applications, sensing has been largely unexplored until recently. Several groups have reported their discoveries on MOF sensors aimed at the convenient detection of explosives, chemical vapors, and O2 gas.
