Luminescence tuning of the Dy–Zn metal–organic framework and its application in the detection of Fe(<scp>iii</scp>) ions

Abstract

A single-component Dy–Zn MOF with white-light emission was used to detect Fe(<sc>iii</sc>) with the combination of f–f transitions and ligand-based emission, which provides a platform for the design and application of the white-light emitting materials and chemosensors for metal ions.
