Sonochemical synthesis of microscale Zn(II)-MOF with dual Lewis basic sites for fluorescent turn-on detection of Al3+ and methanol with low detection limits

The effects of synthetic methods, modulator types, the content of the modulator, and reaction time on the size and morphology of a microscale Zn-MOF containing dual Lewis basic amino and carbonyl groups, namely [Zn(NH2-bdc)(4,4′-bpy)] {NH2-H2bdc = 2-amino-1,4-benzenedicarboxylic acid and 4,4′-bpy = 4,4′-bipyridine}, were systemically investigated. Uniform octahedral microparticles of Zn-MOF with an average size of 1.7 μm were obtained … Continue reading Sonochemical synthesis of microscale Zn(II)-MOF with dual Lewis basic sites for fluorescent turn-on detection of Al3+ and methanol with low detection limits
