Abstract
Supramolecular metal-organic cages (MOCs) have demonstrated tremendous potential across diverse fields due to their unique structural designability and multifunctionality. Current research continues to explore and optimize their structural design and functional properties. This review focuses on the structure chemistry of MOCs based on various fluorescent ligands (e.g., TPE, BODIPY, TPA, etc.), elucidating the structure-property relationship between the structural characteristics of fluorescent MOCs and their photophysical behaviors. Additionally, we provide an overview of the role played by metal centers in these luminescent cages. Building upon the unique properties of fluorescent MOCs, we specifically highlight their applications in fluorescent sensing, including anion sensing, organic pollutant detection, and bioactive substance recognition. Finally, we outline current challenges and future directions in this field, offering new perspectives for designing high-performance fluorescent sensing materials.
期刊介绍:
Coordination Chemistry Reviews offers rapid publication of review articles on current and significant topics in coordination chemistry, encompassing organometallic, supramolecular, theoretical, and bioinorganic chemistry. It also covers catalysis, materials chemistry, and metal-organic frameworks from a coordination chemistry perspective. Reviews summarize recent developments or discuss specific techniques, welcoming contributions from both established and emerging researchers.
The journal releases special issues on timely subjects, including those featuring contributions from specific regions or conferences. Occasional full-length book articles are also featured. Additionally, special volumes cover annual reviews of main group chemistry, transition metal group chemistry, and organometallic chemistry. These comprehensive reviews are vital resources for those engaged in coordination chemistry, further establishing Coordination Chemistry Reviews as a hub for insightful surveys in inorganic and physical inorganic chemistry.
