Multifunctional Three-Dimensional Europium Metal–Organic Framework for Luminescence Sensing of Benzaldehyde and Cu²⁺ and Selective Capture of Dye Molecules

Abstract

A multifunctional three-dimensional lanthanide metal-organic framework has been rationally constructed. Highly selective sensing of benzaldehyde and Cu(2+) ions makes it a potential bifunctional sensor. Also, it could serve as a good candidate material for the removal of dyes from effluents based on the size exclusion.
