Abstract
The synthesis of a novel fluorescent sensor (UiO-66-HJA) for Al3+ ions involved grafting 8-Hydroxyjulolidine-9-carboxaldehyde (HJA) onto a Zr(IV)-based metal organic framework (UiO-66-NH2) through a Schiff base reaction. The resulting functionalized UiO-66-HJA maintained its structural integrity and exhibited excellent thermal and chemical stability during the post-synthetic modification process. Optical investigations revealed that the sensor exhibited high selectivity towards Al3+ ions, demonstrating a remarkable detection limit of 0.26 μM. Furthermore, the low cytotoxicity of UiO-66-HJA allowed for successful imaging of Al3+ ions in SiHa cells, demonstrating remarkable biocompatibility and cell membrane permeability. For on-site monitoring purposes, UiO-66-HJA-hybridized polyvinyl alcohol composite films were prepared and effectively utilized for visual detection of Al3+ ions in real samples. These results collectively highlight the potential of post-modification on MOFs as a promising tool for both in vitro and in vivo detection of Al3+ ions.
