Abstract:
An alkali-resistant Zn-MOF directed by [BMI]Br ionic liquid, (BMI)2[Zn3(ptptc)2] (1), based on a π-electron-rich terphenyl-tetracarboxylic acid, has been synthesized under the combination of hydro/solvothermal and ionothermal condition (BMI = 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium, H4ptptc = p-terphenyl-3,3'',5,5''-tetracarboxylic acid). In 1, the trinuclear Zn(ii) clusters are linked by the organic moieties of the ptptc ligands, resulting in a 3D anionic framework structure with highly disordered [BMI]+ cations filled in the pores. 1 exhibits good chemical stability in water and NaOH solutions (pH range of 7-12), which allow it to detect antibiotics and nitroaromatic explosives in an aquatic system. 1 represents high fluorescence quenching efficiency toward NFs (furazolidone, FZD; nitrofurazone, NZF; nitrofurantoin, NFT), NMs (ronidazole, RDZ; metronidazole, MDZ; dimetridazole, DTZ; ornidazole, ODZ) and nitrophenol (2-nitrophenol, 2-NP; 3-nitrophenol, 3-NP; 4-nitrophenol, 4-NP; 2,4,6-trinitrophenol, TNP) in water solution, respectively.
