Abstract:

A water-stable three-dimensional (3D) metal-organic framework (MOF) of {[Tb(Cmdcp)(H2O)3]2(NO3)2·5H2O}n (1, H3CmdcpBr = N-carboxymethyl-(3,5-dicarboxyl)pyridinium bromide) has been synthesized and characterized. MOF 1 is highly emissive, giving rise to green luminescence that can be quenched by Fe3+ due to the partial overlap of its excitation spectrum with the absorption spectrum of Fe3+. The subsequent introduction of ascorbic acid (AA) leads to the reduction of Fe3+ into Fe2+, accompanied by the near-entire recovery of MOF 1 emission. The density functional theory (DFT) calculation results support the proposed mechanism. Such a sensing cycle is further transferable to urine and serum samples with a satisfactory near-quantitative recovery, highlighting its good potential in biologically relevant applications.
