CONDUCTIVE BIMETALLIC METAL-ORGANIC FRAMEWORKS FOR THE DETECTION OF ANALYTES

摘要

In some embodiments, the present disclosure pertains to a bimetallic metal-organic framework. In some embodiments, the bimetallic metal-organic framework includes a plurality of first metals and a plurality of metal-containing ligands, where each metal-containing ligand includes a second metal and a ligand. In some embodiments, the ligand is coordinated with the second metal and at least one first metal. In some embodiments, the present disclosure pertains to a method of detecting an analyte in a sample by associating the sample with a bimetallic metal-organic framework, as disclosed herein, detecting a change in a property of the bimetallic metal-organic framework, and correlating the change in the property of the bimetallic metal- organic framework to the presence or absence of the analyte in the sample. In some embodiments, the present disclosure pertains to a method of making the bimetallic metal-organic frameworks disclosed herein.
