In this work, a near-white-light-emission metal–organic framework (MOF), Eu³⁺@Cd-MOF, was designed as a fluorescent probe for the colorimetric and fluorescent detection of these pollutants. The probe exhibits highly selective and sensitive responses to ciprofloxacin (CIP), tetracycline (TET), and Fe³⁺ via distinct fluorescence changes: the addition of TET or Fe³⁺ quenches both the 475 and 618 nm emission peaks, whereas CIP enhances the intensity at 475 nm while leaving the 618 nm peak nearly unchanged. Based on these spectral responses, the sensor achieves high sensitivity with detection limits of 0.034 mM (CIP), 0.13 mM (TET), and 0.369 mM (Fe³⁺), together with good recyclability. Furthermore, a smartphone-assisted sensing platform using Eu³⁺@Cd-MOF and Eu³⁺@Cd-MOF/PSF MMMs (PSF = Polysulfone, MMMs = mixed-matrix membranes) were developed, enabling rapid and visual pollutant detection.

This review provides a unified perspective on rod-like Au₂₅ nanoclusters, encompassing key characterization methods, ligand engineering strategies, heteroatom doping effects, and future research directions. Current studies reveal that ligand engineering primarily governs low-energy electronic transitions, near-infrared emission, chiroptical responses, and substrate-activation pathways by modulating shell rigidity, local asymmetry, and site exposure. In contrast, heterometal doping regulates photoluminescence behavior, energy-transfer processes, and photocatalytic and electrocatalytic performance through site-selective substitution, thereby reshaping frontier-orbital distributions, energy-level alignment, and interfacial electronic structure. Future progress will require advances in predictive synthesis, site-selective doping, operando characterization, and the integrated design of ligand engineering and heterometal doping within a single cluster platform.
