Template-directed synthesis of a luminescent Tb-MOF material for highly selective Fe³⁺ and Al³⁺ ion detection and VOC vapor sensing

Abstract

The template-directed synthesis of a novel luminescent Tb-MOF material which could serve as a multi-responsive probe for sensing Fe³⁺ and Al³⁺ ions in water, as well as <italic>p</italic>-xylene and nitrobenzene in the vapor state is presented here.
