摘要

Two novel isostructural 3d-4f microporous heterometal-organic frameworks (HMOFs) with high acid/base stability were constructed based on a polydentate carboxylate ligand. Luminescent studies showed that one of the new HMOFs displayed high-sensitivity luminescent sensing functions for BTEX (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylenes), particularly for ethylbenzene. This is the first observation of a 3d-4f HMOF as a chemical sensor for BTEX.
