Luminescent metal-organic framework composites with multiple luminescence emissions have been efficient sensing platforms. Herein, a fluorescent sensor (RhB@1-0.4) with dual-emission fluorescence properties was prepared by introducing rhodamine B (RhB) into the framework of complex , [Mn(HCPCP)(HO)]·(CHCN) [HCPCP = hexa-(4-carboxyl-phenoxy)-cyclotriphosphazene and CHCN = acetonitrile), which is a novel crystalline two-dimensional (2D) coordinated organic framework material.

Hydrothermal reaction of the multidentate organic ligand (HTTHA) with indium chloride (InCl) produced a highly stable 3D luminescent indium-organic framework [In(OH)(HTTHA)(HO)] (1). Complex 1 exhibits remarkable luminescent properties, especially the multifunction sensitivity and selectivity for detecting Ru, UO; as well as small biomolecules thiamines (TPP, TMP, and TCl) based on a "turn-off" manner. In particular, the pyrophosphate groups of TPP and the phosphate groups of TMP could further affect the quenching rate, leading to different luminescent responds.

Three Ag(I) coordination complexes, [Ag(pyzca)]n (1) (Hpyzca=pyrazine-2-carboxylic acid), Ag[(HNA)(NA)(H2O)4] (2) (HNA=nicotinic acid) and [Ag1Ag2-(2,3-pydc)]n (3) (H2pydc=pyridine-2, 3-dicarboxylic acid) have been synthesized by the hydrothermal method. Their structures are determined by single-crystal X-ray diffractometer. Complex 1 possesses the 3D infinite structure.

Three titanium coordination polymers, {[Ti(SO(4))(2)(H(2)O)]·0.5bipy·2H(2)O}(n)1, {[Ti1(SO(4))(2)(H(2)O)]·[Ti2(SO(4))(2)(H(2)O)]·bipy·5H(2)O}(n)2 and [Ti(tea)](n)3 (bipy=4,4'-bipyridine, H(3)tea=triethanolamine) were synthesized and characterized by IR, UV-Vis absorption spectra, TG analysis, X-ray single crystal diffraction and surface photovoltage spectroscopy (SPS). The surface photoelectric properties of titanium coordination polymers were discussed emphatically by the SPS.

Four novel hetero-tetranuclear d-f coordination complexes, [Ln2Cd2(p-toluylate)10(phen)2] (Nd, 1; Pr, 2; Sm, 3) and [Ho2Cd2(p-chloro-benzoate)10(phen)2](4) (phen = 1, 10-phenanthroline), are synthesized by the hydrothermal method, and their structures are studied by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Structures 1-3 are isomorphous and structure 4 has a similar molecular structure. In the near-infrared (NIR) region or in the visible region, complexes 1-4 show the characteristic emission bands of Ln(III) ions, which are attributed to the sensitization from the ligands and d-block (cadmium-ligand section) to f-block (lanthanide-ligand section).

Five Zn( [II)) and Cd(II) coordination complexes, [Zn(NA)2 (H2O)4](1), [Zn(INA)2 (H2O)4](2), [Zn(2,2'-bi-py)2 (SCN)2](3), [Cd(INA)2 (H2O)4](4) and [Cd(phen)2(NO3)](5) (HNA=nicotinic acid, HINA=isonicotinic acid, 2, 2'-bipy=2,2'-bipyridine, phen=1,10-phenanthroline), were synthesized through constant temperature magnetic stirrer or hydrothermal method, and their single-crystal structures were determined by X-ray diffraction. The authors measured the IR, UV-Vis-NIR and fluorescence spectra of the complexes and analyzed their photophysical properties. At room temperature in the solid state the five complexes can show strong fluorescence, i.
