Amino-decorated lanthanide(<scp>iii</scp>) organic extended frameworks for multi-color luminescence and fluorescence sensing

Abstract

Four luminescent lanthanide–organic frameworks (Ln = Eu³⁺, Tb³⁺, Sm³⁺ and Dy³⁺), isostructural to MOF-LIC-1(Gd), are assembled. Multiple colors are obtained for the system and white-light emission is realized by the single component Sm(<sc>iii</sc>) framework. Most interestingly, Eu-MOF performs highly selective and sensitive luminescence sensing of Al³⁺.
