Five new 3D transition MOFs based on 1-(3,5-dicarboxylatobenzyl)-3,5-pyrazole dicarboxylic acid displaying unique luminescence sensing towards Fe3+ and magnetic properties†
Abstract
Five new 3D MOFs: {[Zn3(HL)2H2O]·4H2O}n (1), {[Ba2L5H2O]·2H2O}n (2), {[Ba4(L)2·5H2O]·2H2O}n (3), {[Cd3(HL)2·Cl2·2H2O]·2H2O}n (4) and {[Cu2(L)2·2H2O]·4H2O}n (5), were constructed based on 1-(3,5-dicarboxylatobenzyl)-3,5-pyrazole dicarboxylic acid. Structural analysis shows that 1–5 have 3D frameworks, among which 1(Zn) exhibits high luminescence sensing for Fe3+ ions, excellent framework stability and reusability. The sensing mechanism of 1(Zn) is briefly discussed. In addition, 5(Cu) displays antiferromagnetic exchange phenomena.
