Abstract
An Eu(III)-functionalized strontium-organic framework (Eu3+@Sr-MOF) was synthesized by encapsulating Eu3+ ions into the pores of Sr-MOF via postsynthetic modification (PSM) and fully characterized by XRD, SEM, EDS, FTIR, and TGA. The luminescent properties of Eu3+@Sr-MOF were measured and investigated in detail, which demonstrated that Eu3+@Sr-MOF not only possessed excellent water and chemical stabilities in a wide pH range (5-10) but also displayed red luminescence with excitation/emission maxima at 332/617nm. The Eu3+@Sr-MOF can be considered as a highly selective and sensitive recyclable luminescence probe for sensing Cr(III) and Cr(VI) based on strong luminescence quenching effects; itcan be recycled at least five times. The luminescence probe for Cr3+, CrO42-, and Cr2O72- shows low detection limits (0.15μM, 0.17μM, and 0.13μM, respectively), relatively broad linear ranges (0.6-150μM, 0.1-200μM and 0.4-180μM, respectively), and high quenching constants KSV. Thesignals can be observed by the naked eye under UV light of 365nm. The method was applied to the determination of total Cr in environmental water samples. Graphical abstract.
