Abstract
In this study, a neoteric dual-ligand europium metal-organic framework (Eu-MOF) was synthesized by a simple one-pot method for visual detection of Al3+. The Eu-MOF was prepared with 2,5-dihydroxyterephthalic acid (H2DHT) and dipicolinic acid (DPA) as dual-ligand and Eu3+ ions as a metal node, also denoted as Eu–H2DHT/DPA. Benefitting from the specific coordination of Al3+ by hydroxyl group of the ligand H2DHT, the emission at 515 nm derived from H2DHT increased significantly through an excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) mechanism. However, the emission at 620 nm from Eu3+ changed slightly which was used as the reference signal. The Eu–H2DHT/DPA probe exhibited clearly recognizable color change from orange-red to yellow-green with the increasing Al3+ concentration. In conjunction with smartphone to read color hue, the sensitive visual quantitative detection of Al3+ was realized. Moreover, the feasibility of detection of Al3+ in real water samples was verified. This study offers a sensitive and convenient route in the design and fabrication of novel fluorescence ratiometric probe with self-calibration model for detection of contaminants in practical water samples.
期刊介绍:
Dyes and Pigments covers the scientific and technical aspects of the chemistry and physics of dyes, pigments and their intermediates. Emphasis is placed on the properties of the colouring matters themselves rather than on their applications or the system in which they may be applied.
Thus the journal accepts research and review papers on the synthesis of dyes, pigments and intermediates, their physical or chemical properties, e.g. spectroscopic, surface, solution or solid state characteristics, the physical aspects of their preparation, e.g. precipitation, nucleation and growth, crystal formation, liquid crystalline characteristics, their photochemical, ecological or biological properties and the relationship between colour and chemical constitution. However, papers are considered which deal with the more fundamental aspects of colourant application and of the interactions of colourants with substrates or media.
The journal will interest a wide variety of workers in a range of disciplines whose work involves dyes, pigments and their intermediates, and provides a platform for investigators with common interests but diverse fields of activity such as cosmetics, reprographics, dye and pigment synthesis, medical research, polymers, etc.
