RESUMEN
Functionalized crystalline solids based on metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) enable efficient luminescence detection and high proton conductivity, making them crucial in the realms of environmental monitoring and clean energy. Here, two structurally and functionally distinct zinc-based MOFs, [Zn(TTDPa)(bodca)]·H2O (1) and [Zn(TTDPb)(bodca)]·H2O (2), were successfully designed and synthesized using 3,6-di(pyridin-4-yl)thieno[3,2-b]thiophene (TTDPa) and 2,5-di(pyridin-4-yl)thieno[3,2-b]thiophene (TTDPb) as ligands, in the presence of bicyclo[2.2.2]octane-1,4-dicarboxylic acid (H2bodca). Both 1 and 2 display a three-dimensional (3D) structure with 5-fold interpenetration, and notably, 2 forms a larger one-dimensional pore measuring 17.16 × 10.81 Å2 in size. Fluorescence experiments demonstrate that 1 and 2 can function as luminescent sensors for nitrofurantoin (NFT) and nitrofurazone (NFZ) with low detection limits, remarkable selectivity, and good recyclability. A comprehensive analysis was conducted to investigate the differing sensing effects of compounds 1 and 2 and to explore potential sensing mechanisms. Additionally, at 328 K and 98% relative humidity, 1 and 2 exhibit proton conductivity values of 2.13 × 10-3 and 4.91 × 10-3 S cm-1, respectively, making them suitable proton-conducting materials. Hence, the integration of luminescent sensing and proton conductivity in monophasic 3D Zn-MOFs holds significant potential for application in intelligent multitasking devices.
RESUMEN
A new dysprosium (III) coordination polymer [Dy(Hm-dobdc) (H2O)2]·H2O (Dy-CP), was hydrothermal synthesized based on 4,6-dioxido-1,3-benzenedicarboxylate (H4m-dobdc) ligand containing carboxyl and phenolic hydroxyl groups. The Dy(III) center adopts an octa-coordinated [DyO8] geometry, which can be described as a twisted square antiprism (D 4d symmetry). Neighboring Dy(III) ions are interconnected by deprotonated Hm-dobdc3- ligand to form the two-dimensional infinite layers, which are further linked to generate three-dimensional structure through abundant hydrogen bonds mediated primarily by coordinated and lattice H2O molecules. Magnetic studies demonstrates that Dy-CP shows the field-induced slow relaxation of magnetization and the energy barrier U eff/k B and relaxation time τ 0 are 35.3 K and 1.31 × 10-6 s, respectively. Following the vehicular mechanism, Dy-CP displays proton conductivity with σ equal to 7.77 × 10-8 S cm-1 at 353 K and 30%RH. Moreover, luminescence spectra reveal that H4m-dobdc can sensitize characteristic luminescence of Dy(III) ion. Herein, good magnetism, proton conduction, and luminescence are simultaneously achieved, and thus, Dy-CP is a potential multifunctional coordination polymer material.
