A bifunctional luminescent europium–organic framework for highly selective sensing of nitrobenzene and 4-aminophenol

Abstract

A bifunctional luminescent <bold>Eu-MOF</bold> can be applied as a highly selective and sensitive bifunctional luminescence sensor to detect NB and 4-AP through an energy competition mechanism with low detection limits of 5–70 ppm and 5–110 ppm, respectively.
