A Ni(II) Coordination Polymer as a Multifunctional Luminescent Sensor for Detection of UO, CrO, CrO and Nitrofurantoin.

A new Ni coordination polymer [Ni(MIP)(BMIOPE)] () was constructed (BMIOPE = 4,4'-bis(2-methylimidazol-1-yl)diphenyl ether, and HMIP = 5-methylisophthalic acid), possessing two-dimensional (2D) twofold parallel interwoven net structure with a 4∙6 point symbol. Complex has been successfully obtained based on mixed-ligand strategy. The fluorescence titration experiments revealed that complex could act as multifunctional luminescent sensor to simultaneously detect UO, CrO and CrO, and NFT (nitrofurantoin).
