Abstract

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a kind of porous hybrid material with ultimate/optimum porosity, structural tailorability, wide surface area, functional diversity, crystallinity, and versatility. A new MOF class, fluorescent metal-organic frameworks (FMOFs), has drawn much attention toward sensing applications. The advancement of novel fluorescent MOFs has become the point of convergence to detect environmental pollutants. Importantly, FMOFs have been successfully used for the quantification of various target analytes (metal ions, organics, and biomolecules) from complex matrices. This chapter discusses the fluorescent nature of the MOF mechanism through organic linkers, metal ions, and guest molecules, various synthesis routes to prepare FMOFs, and their applications for the sensing of various environmental pollutants and biomedical applications.
