Abstract:
A highly luminescent Ln-MOF [La3(NDC)4(DMF)3(H2O)4]n, (NDC = 2, 6 naphthalen dicarboxylic acid) was designed and synthesized. The structure was characterized by x-ray single structure determination, TGA, IR spectra and PXRD and fluorescence spectroscopy. The structure shows high fluorescence intensity based on the presence of lanthanide metal and ligand. In the presence of I-, the emission can be effectively quenched introducing turn off system. Furthermore, the synthesized Ln-MOF can recognize Hg (II) by showing fluorescence turn-on signal because of the high affinity between Hg (II) and I-. Moreover, the high selectivity and sensitivity of the synthesized Ln-MOF makes it quit qualified for determination of the low concentration of mercury (2.00 nM).

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...
