A pillared MOF, [Zn(OBA)(HDPT)].DMF (TMU-34), based on dihydro tetrazine functionalized pillar spacer (HDPT=3,6-di(pyridin-4-yl)-1,4-dihydro-1,2,4,5-tetrazine) and V-shape dicarboxylate linker (HOBA=4,4'-oxybis(benzoic acid)) was synthesized by reflux and ultrasonic methods. The effects of sonication time, initial concentration of reagents and sonication power on size and morphology have been optimized. This MOF has been characterized by scanning electron microscopy, FT-IR spectra, X-ray powder diffraction and N adsorption at 77K. Bulk and nano samples of TMU-34 have been applied in cation sensing for detection of Al(III) in presence of other cations (Na(I), Mg(II), Sr(II), Al(III), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Cd(II), Pb(II), Hg(II),Cr(III), Li(I), Fe(III), K(I)). The results show that nano powder of TMU-34 with uniform separated plate-like morphology (TMU-34-F) has higher detection limit and short response time compared to bulk material. So, in this work we show the application of luminescent metal-organic frameworks synthesized by sonochemistry approach in effective cation detection.

Toxic metals present in drinking water pose a serious threat to the environment and human beings when present in abundance. In this work, we investigated the sensing ability of quantum dots (pristine CQDs, boron/nitrogen/sulphur (B/N/S)-doped CQDs, and BNQDs) of various sizes and morphologies (rectangular, circular, and triangular) towards toxic metals such as arsenic (As), cobalt (Co), nickel (Ni), copper (Cu), and lead (Pb) using quantum chemical density functional theory calculations in both gas and water phases. We probed the structural, electronic, and optical properties of the QDs.

The morphology-dependent localized surface plasmon resonance of gold nanostructures has been widely utilized for designing sensors. One method relies on the color change of gold nanoparticles upon etching. In previous work, TMBoxidized from 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) was found to etch gold nanorods (AuNRs), leading to a spectrum of different colors.

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is a progressive lung disease that causes scarring and loss of lung function. Macrophages play a key role in fibrosis, but their responses to altered morphological and mechanical properties of the extracellular matrix in fibrosis is relatively unexplored. Our previous work showed functional changes in murine fetal liver-derived alveolar macrophages on fibrous or globular collagen morphologies.
