Luminescent metal-organic frameworks for nitro explosives detection

摘要

Metal-organic frameworks(MOFs) have been emerging as important multifunctional hybrid materials, not only due to the diversify framework architectures, but also contribute to the rich interactions among metals, ligands and guests. Nitro explosives have important influences for environmental protection and national homeland security. In this review, a brief description of luminescent MOFs is presented, accompanied by a short comment on the four types of metal-based luminescent MOFs as sensing materials for nitro explosives detection. Then the trends and challenges of luminescent MOFs as sensing materials for nitro explosives are also prospected.
