Abstract

By introducing carboxyl tag to the aromatic ligands system and borrowing the organic template open framework idea, a stable fluorescent Zn metal–organic framework was successfully prepared through a rigid ligand H6L (3,5‐bis‐(3‐carboxyphenoxy)benzoic acid) under hydrothermal conditions. The selectivity and sensitivity of the Zn‐MOF to metal ions and nitro‐aromatic compounds (NACs) were investigated by fluorescence quenching. And the Zn‐MOF showed a high sensibility of nitro‐aromatic compounds (NACs) and Fe3+ ions, especially for 4‐(4‐nitropheny lazo) resorcinol (NPLR). More importantly, the detection limit of the Zn‐MOF for detecting NPLR solution was found to be 1.71 ppb. Moreover, this sensor is remarkable recyclable and is promisingly applied for rapid, on‐site and sensing of explosive residuals.
