A halochromic Zr6-based metal-organic framework is synthesized using solvent-assisted linker incorporation (SALI) with NU-1000 as a platform and carboxylnaphthofluorescein as a pH sensitive ligand. The functionalized MOF can catalytically detoxify nerve agent simulants in addition to visually detecting the acidic byproduct produced during detoxification.
