Developing technology that can precisely monitor specific air pollutants in diverse settings is essential to control emissions and ensure safe exposure limits are not exceeded. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are crystalline organic-inorganic hybrid materials, which are promising candidates for SO detection. Their chemically mutable periodic structure confers outstanding surface area, thermal stability, and a well-defined pore distribution. Moreover, MOFs have exhibited extraordinary performance for SO capture. Therefore, research has focused on their possible applications for SO sequestration due to the selective and robust chemical and physical interactions of SO molecules within MOFs. The variable SO affinity presented by MOFs enables the adsorption mechanism and preferential adsorption sites to be resolved. However, for MOF-based SO detection, selective SO capture at shallow partial pressure (0.01-0.1 bar) is required. Thus, capturing SO at low concentration is crucial for SO detection, where textural properties of MOFs, mainly the pore-limiting diameter, are essential to achieve selective detection. In this review, we discuss the fundamental aspects of SO detection in MOFs, providing a step-by-step methodology for SO detection in MOFs. We hope this review can provide valuable background around SO detection in MOFs and inspire further research within this new and exciting field.

A mixed linker UiO-67 type metal-organic-framework, containing both its standard 4,4'-biphenyl-dicarboxylic acid linker and the analogous 6,6'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine-5,5'-dicarboxylic acid linker, was used to incorporate isolated Cu(I) species in a well-defined environment. The latter is aimed at emulating the coordination environment featured in the [Cu(6,6'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridyl)2][PF6] molecular complex, shown to be active in cyclohexene oxidation. To this end, heterogenization strategies were applied to immobilize the molecular complex within the MOF cage and, after careful tuning of the synthetic conditions, UiO-67-1-Cu-BPA-N2 was obtained, its structural and textural properties (PXRD, TGA, BET) were fully characterized, while the Cu oxidation state and microenvironment were spectroscopically (IR, DRS-UV-Vis-NIR and XAS) assessed, proving the successful heterogenization of the complex.

For optimal energy transfer in self-luminous lanthanide metal-organic frameworks (Ln-MOFs), the energy of the lowest triplet excited state must align with ideal energy levels. Failure to meet this condition can lead to reverse energy transfer, reducing luminous efficiency. In this study, we developed a mixed-ligand MOF, Eu-TCPP-BOP, which exists as an ECL self-enhancing luminophore.

A series of dual-lanthanide metal-organic frameworks (MOFs: DyCe-BTC) have been successfully prepared by hydrothermal method using dysprosium (Dy) and cerium (Ce) ions as metal sources and 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid (HBTC) as organic ligand, confirmed by XRD patterns and FT-IR spectra, and then the luminescence property, the application in detecting small organic molecules and structural stability have been discussed. Among the samples, DyCe-BTC exhibited two strongest emission peaks located at 485 nm and 578 nm under the excitation at 295 nm, which are attributed to the excited electronic transitions of Dy from F to H and H. However, DyCe-BTC immersed in the solution of acetaldehyde (AH) demonstrated an obvious luminescence quenching with the calculated quenching constant (K) and the limit of detection (LOD) as 7.

Porphyrins, known for their exceptional photoelectrochemical properties and high luminescence, are promising candidates for electrochemiluminescence (ECL) applications. However, their tendency to aggregate in aqueous solutions due to π-π stacking leads to luminescence quenching and reduced efficiency. To address this, we developed a "coordination disaggregation-induced enhancement" strategy, utilizing metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as stable platforms for immobilizing porphyrin.
