Water pollution from heavy metals and their toxic oxo-anionic derivatives such as CrO42-, Cr2O72-, HAsO42-, and HAsO32- has become one of the most critical environmental issues. To address this, herein, we report a new hydrolytically stable luminescent Zn(ii) based cationic metal organic framework (MOF), iMOF-4C, which further successfully exhibited a rare dual "turn off/on" fluorescence response toward Cr(vi), As(v) and As(iii) based oxo-anions respectively in water medium. In addition, iMOF-4C was found to maintain its superior selectivity in the presence of other concurrent anions (e.g. SO42-, Cl-, Br-, ClO4-, NO3-, SCN- and CO32-). More importantly, iMOF-4C exhibited an excellent selective and sensitive luminescence "turn-off" response towards CrO42- and Cr2O72- anions in water medium with the quenching constant (Ksv) values as high as 1.31 × 105 M-1 (CrO42-) and 4.85 × 105 M-1 (Cr2O72-), which are found to be the highest among the values reported in the regime of MOFs. Interestingly, iMOF-4C showed fluorescence "turn-on" response toward HAsO42- and HAsO32- with an enhancement coefficient (Kec) of 1.98 × 104 M-1 and 3.56 × 103 M-1 respectively. The high sensitivity and low detection limits make iMOF-4C more feasible for real-time sensing of such toxic oxo-anions in an aqueous medium. Furthermore, the probable sensing mechanism has been investigated by DFT calculation studies and discussed in detail.

ConspectusWater scarcity as a consequence of either environmental or economic actions is the most compelling global concern of the 21st century, as ∼2 billion people (26% of the total population) struggle to access safe drinking water and ∼3.6 billion (46% of the total population) lack access to clean water sanitation. In this context, groundwater pollution by toxic heavy metals and/or their oxo-pollutants, such as CrO, CrO, AsO, SeO, SeO, TcO, UO, etc.

The accurate and rapid detection of antibiotics and heavy-metal-based toxic oxo-anions in water media employing coordination polymers (CPs) as luminescent probes has attracted a lot of attention. Three new Cd(II)-based ternary CPs derived from first-presented L ligands, including [Cd(DCTP)(L)(OH)] (1), [Cd(TBTA)(L)(OH)] (2), and [Cd(NPHT)(L)(HO)] (3) (L = 2-((1-imidazol-1-yl)methyl)-5,6-dimethyl-1-benzo[]imidazole, HDCTP = 2,5-dichloroterephthalic acid, HTBTA = tetrabromoterephthalic acid and HNPHT = 3-nitrophthalic acid), were successfully assembled and characterized. 1 and 2 show 2D hcb layers, which can be further extended into a 3D supramolecular framework classic hydrogen bonding interactions.

The mobility and distribution of heavy metal ions (HMs) in aquatic environments are significantly influenced by humic acid (HA), which is ubiquitous. A quantitative understanding of the interaction mechanism underlying the adsorption and retention of HMs by HA is of vital significance but remains elusive. Herein, the interaction mechanism between HA and different types of HMs (i.

Frequent use of antibiotics and the growth of industry lead to the pollution of several natural resources which is one of the major consequences for fatality to human health. Exploration of smart sensing materials is highly anticipated for ultrasensitive detection of those hazardous organics. The robust porous hydrogen bonded network encompassing a free-NH moiety, Zn(II)-based metal-organic framework (MOF) (), is used for the selective detection of antibiotics and toxic oxo-anions at the ppb level.

Several salicylidene-based colorimetric and fluorimetric anion sensors are known in the literature. However, our H-NMR experimental results (in DMSO-d) showed hydrolysis of imine (-N[double bond, length as m-dash]CH-) bonds in salicylidene-based receptors (SL, CL1 and CL2) in the presence of quaternary ammonium salts (-BuN) of halides (Cl and Br) and oxo-anions (HPO , HSO and CHCOO). The mono-salicylidene compound CL1 showed the most extensive -N[double bond, length as m-dash]CH- bond hydrolysis in the presence of anions.
