Two anthracene-based metal–organic frameworks for highly effective photodegradation and luminescent detection in water

Abstract

Two anthracene-based MOFs (<bold>Eu-ADBA</bold> and <bold>In-ADBA</bold>) with <italic>fcu</italic> and <italic>acs</italic> topologies have been successfully designed and synthesized. <bold>Eu-ADBA</bold> displays highly efficient photodegradation of MB, RhB and TC in water. <bold>In-ADBA</bold> shows excellent detection towards nitrofurans (NFZ and NFT) and nitrophenols (TNP, 2,4-DNP and 4-NP) in water.
