Abstract
Two novel lanthanide metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with the formulas [Tb(bidc)(Hbidc)(H2O)]n (JXUST-20) and {[Tb3(bidc)4(HCOO)(DMF)]·solvents}n (JXUST-21) were synthesized based on 2,1,3-benzothiadiazole-4,7-dicarboxylic acid (H2BTDC) under solvothermal conditions. Interestingly, benzimidazole-4,7-dicarboxylic acid (H2bidc) was formed in situ using H2BTDC as the starting material. The self-assembly process of the targeted MOFs with different topological structures can be controlled by the solvents and concentration of the reactants. Luminescence experiments show that JXUST-20 and JXUST-21 exhibit strong yellow-green emission. JXUST-20 and JXUST-21 can selectively sense benzaldehyde (BzH) via a luminescence quenching effect with detection limits of 15.3 and 1.44 ppm, respectively. In order to expand the practical application of MOF materials, mixed-matrix membranes (MMMs) have been constructed by mixing targeted MOFs and poly(methyl methacrylate) in a N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) solution, which can also be used for BzH vapor sensing. Therefore, the first case of MMMs derived from TbIII MOFs has been developed for the reversible detection of BzH vapor, providing a simple and efficient platform for the future detection of volatile organic compounds.
