Abstract:
A new coordination polymer (Ce-Fe-GMP) with excellent catalytic activity was prepared by a facile route, which was further applied to the detection of F- with high sensitivity and selectivity. The simple doping of Fe3+ into the coordination network can easily modulate the mixing ratio of Ce3+ and Ce4+ in the presence of H2O2, which can extremely improve the catalytic ability of Ce-Fe-GMP. Based on the synergistic effect, the Ce-Fe-GMP with dual-active sites shows better peroxidase activity than that of Ce-GMP. In addition, we found that F- can inhibit the peroxidase activity of Ce-Fe-GMP because of the coordination structure fragmentation and the regulation of Ce3+/Ce4+ ratio. Therefore, different concentrations of F- can be detected by the colorimetric reaction based on this mechanism. The absorption at 652 nm displays a good linear relationship versus the concentration of F- over the range 2.0 to 100.0 μM. Furthermore, F- in real mineral-mixed samples can be measured with satisfactory results. The colorimetric strategy based on the peroxidase activity of Ce-Fe-GMP is simple and low-cost, which shows the potential applications in the field of on-site environment measurement.

Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human...
