Article Description

A novel luminescent isoreticular metal-organic framework ZnO(ECMTDC)·10DMF (Cz-MOF-1), where ECMTDC denotes 3-(9-ethyl-9H-carbazol-3-yl)-4-methylthieno[2,3-b]thiophene-2,5-dicarboxylate and DMF denotes N,N-dimethylformamide, was successfully synthesized via solvothermal methods from Zn(NO)·6HO and H2ECMTDC in DMF. Powder X-ray diffraction experiments along with scanning electron microscopy images indicate that Cz-MOF-1 has excellent water stability compared with other ZnO-based MOFs, which can be attributed to the hydrophobic surroundings around the ZnO clusters formed from N-ethylcarbazolyl and methyl groups. Cz-MOF-1 displays a strong deep blue light emission (452 nm) and a quantum efficiency of 3.74%, and has high selectivity and sensitivity for the detection of Fe, CrO and DCN. Furthermore, the possible luminescence sensing mechanisms have been discussed in detail, which are supported by PXRD analysis, UV-vis spectroscopy and density functional theory (DFT).
