Cover Feature: Selective and Sensitive Fluorescence Turn‐On Detection of Cyanide Ions in Water by Post Metallization of a MOF (ChemPlusChem 1/2022)

Abstract

The Cover Feature shows a potential sensory material (CuCl2@MOF-867), which has been developed by post metallization (CuCl2) of a water stable luminescent metal-organic framework, namely MOF-867, constructed with bipyridyl functionality as organic linker. The sensory probe demonstrates highly selective and sensitive aqueous phase “turn-on” detection towards toxic cyanide (CN-) ions even in the presence of other co-existing anions with a very low limit of detection (0.19 μM), which is considerably lower than the WHO permissible limit in water.
