Designing novel multifunctional rare-earth metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) has attracted intensive attention. In particular, employing such materials for sensing or catalytic reactions is still very challenging. Here, a new 3D porous Eu(iii)-MOF, [Eu(cppa)(OH)]·xS (denoted as CTGU-19, S = solvent molecule, CTGU = China Three Gorges University), was synthesized by using 5-(4-carboxyphenyl)picolinic acid (H2cppa) as an organic ligand, and it shows a 3D (3,12)-connected topological net with the point symbol (420·628·818)(43)4, constructed from cubane-shaped tetranuclear europium building units. Interestingly, CTGU-19 can be used as a highly sensitive luminescent sensor to identify ornidazole (ODZ) and nitrofurantoin (NFT) at different excitation wavelengths. This result represents the first example of a lanthanide-metal-organic-framework (Eu-MOF) that can be employed as a discriminating fluorescent probe to recognize ODZ and NFT at different excitation wavelengths. Furthermore, after loading CTGU-19 with Ag and/or Au nanoparticles, the composites exhibit efficient catalytic performance for reducing 2-/3-/4-nitrophenols (2-/3-/4-NP), in which the unit mass reduction rate constants of Ag0.8Au0.2@CTGU-19 for 2-NP, 3-NP, and 4-NP reach 68.8, 53.80, and 52.34 s-1 g-1, respectively.

Here, we demonstrated the synthesis of a zinc based luminescent MOF, 1 (NDC = 2,6- naphthalenedicarboxylate) for the ratiometric detection of biomarker riboflavin (RBF; vitamin B) in water dispersed medium. Further, this MOF detected two other antibiotic drug molecules, nitrofurantoin (NFT) and nitrofurazone (NZF). The detection of these analytes is very quick (∼seconds), and the limit of detection (LOD) for RBF, NZF and NFT are calculated as 16.

The detection of antibiotic residues is of great significance in monitoring their overuse in healthcare, livestock and poultry farming, and agricultural production. Herein, EuCl and 4,4'-dicarboxyl-diphenoxyethene (HDPOE) ionothermally reacted in 1-methyl-3-butylimidazolium chloride to give a europium metal-organic framework (Eu-DPOE). Eu-DPOE shows different fluorescence quenching rates for sensing eight antibiotics under different excitation wavelengths.

As electroencephalography (EEG) is nonlinear and nonstationary in nature, an imperative challenge for brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) is to construct a robust classifier that can survive for a long time and monitor the brain state stably. To this end, this research aims to improve BCI performance by incorporation of electroencephalographic and cerebral hemodynamic patterns. A motor imagery (MI)-BCI based visual-haptic neurofeedback training (NFT) experiment was designed with sixteen participants.

For a quantum Internet, one needs reliable sources of entangled particles that are compatible with measurement techniques enabling time-dependent, quantum error correction. Ideally, they will be operable at room temperature with a manageable decoherence versus generation time. To accomplish this, we theoretically establish a scalable, plasmonically based archetype that uses quantum dots (QD) as quantum emitters, known for relatively low decoherence rates near room temperature, that are excited using subdiffracted light from a near-field transducer (NFT).
