A Fluorescent Sensor for Highly Selective Detection of Nitroaromatic Explosives Based on a 2D, Extremely Stable, Metal–Organic Framework

Abstract

A 2D, extremely stable, metal-organic framework (MOF), NENU-503, was successfully constructed. It displays highly selective and recyclable properties in detection of nitroaromatic explosives as a fluorescent sensor. This is the first MOF that can distinguish between nitroaromatic molecules with different numbers of NO2 groups.
