On the modulation/energy competing of Tb(III)/Eu(III) emission in microporous MOF host for peroxide recognition.

Being an important chemical reagent having moderate oxidizability, peracitic acid (PAA) has been applied in modern industries and processing, as well as public safety. These versatile applications make PAA an important analyte to be precisely and sensitively detected. The present work chose the combination of rare-earth-based probe and a microporous host bio-MOF-1 ([Zn(ad)(BPDC)O·2(MeNH)]·G, ad = adenine, BPDC = 4,4'-biphenyl dicarboxylic acid, G = N,N-dimetylformamide and water).
