Abstract:
We report a new ratiometric fluorescent pH sensor based on postsynthetically modified nanoscale MOF-253. Two types of Eu(3+) with different characteristic excitation wavelength are realized in MOF-253 by a postsynthetic method (PSM). The pH sensor requires no calibration because only one of the two types of Eu(3+) is affected by the pH variation.

1.2K
Photoluminescence offers a wide range of applications due to its inherent sensitivity and selectivity. This technique allows for both direct and indirect analyses of the analyte. Direct quantitative analysis is possible when the analyte exhibits a favorable quantum yield for fluorescence or phosphorescence. However, an indirect analysis may be feasible if the analyte is not fluorescent or phosphorescent, or if the quantum yield is unfavorable. Indirect methods include reacting the analyte with...

10.5K
Complexometric titration involves the formation of a complex by reacting a metal ion with one or more ligands. A visual indicator often detects the end point of a complexometric titration. It is added to the metal solution before the titration, forming a stable metal–indicator complex and imparting color to the solution. As the titration approaches the equivalence point, the excess of the added ligand displaces the indicator from the metal–indicator complex, releasing the free...
