A Water-stable Metal-organic Framework for the Detection of Explosives and Antibiotics

摘要

A water-stable zinc-organic framework,Zn(bpda)(hip)·(DMF)(H2O) (1,H2bpda =N4,N4'-di(pyridin-4-yl)biphenyl-4,4'-dicarboxamide,H2hip =5-hydroxyisophthalic acid),has been synthesized via solvothermal reactions.Compound 1 exhibits strong fluorescence emission in water and can be used to detect various nitroaromatic explosives and antibiotics by means of fluorescence quenching in aqueous solution.
