Abstract:
A porous NH2-MOF-76(Eu) (MOF 1) with unexpected non-luminescence was designed and synthesized. It exhibits selective fluorescence recovery for sensing dipicolinic acid (DPA), a biomarker of Bacillus anthracis. Moreover, a new europium-based MOF (MOF 2) with evident channel changes was obtained through a single-crystal to single-crystal phase transition.
