Dual-emitting MOF⊃dye composite for ratiometric temperature sensing.

A strategy to achieve a ratiometric thermometer by encapsulating luminescent perylene dye into the pores of a europium metal-organic framework (MOF) is developed. The resulting MOF⊃dye thermometer exhibits highly temperature-dependent luminescence intensity ratio over the physiological temperature range, with a maximum sensitivity of 1.28% °C(-1) at 20 °C.

A porous metal-organic framework with -COOH groups for highly efficient pollutant removal.

A new metal-organic framework with -COOH groups has been realized and demonstrates strong interactions with methylene blue and thus the complete removal of methylene blue from aqueous solution.

Encapsulation of large dye molecules in hierarchically superstructured metal-organic frameworks.

Microporous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) represent a new family of microporous materials, offering potential applications in gas separation and storage, catalysis, and membranes. The engineering of hierarchical superstructured MOFs, i.e.

A ratiometric and colorimetric luminescent thermometer over a wide temperature range based on a lanthanide coordination polymer.

A lanthanide coordination polymer Tb0.957Eu0.043cpda was synthesized as a ratiometric and colorimetric luminescent thermometer.
