摘要

A Eu-based luminescent MOF, namely, {[Eu(mu(3)-HPhIDC)(mu(2)-C2O4)(0.5)(H2O)] center dot 2H(2)O}(n) (I) (H3PhIDC = 2-phenyl-1H-imidazole-4,5-dicarboxylic acid) has been hydrothermally synthesized and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques (CIF file CCDC no. 1457365). The MOF I indicates characteristic sharp emission bands of Eu3+ ion, which is selectively sensitive to nitrobenzene-based derivatives (nitrobenzene, 2-nitrotoluene, 3-nitrotoluene, 1,3-dinitrobenzene and 2,4-dinitrotoluene). These properties make I a potential fluorescence sensor for these chemicals.
