Abstract

Herein, iron modified hydrogen-bonded organic framework (Fe-HOF) was successfully prepared by introducing the yellow-green fluorescent ligand 2,5-dihydroxyterephthalic acid into HOF and then modifying Fe3+. A simple turn-on fluorescence strategy is proposed for the detection of ascorbic acid (AA) based on Fe-HOF. Fe3+ could effectively quench fluorescence emission of HOF. In the presence of AA, Fe3+ was reduced to Fe2+, which led to the fluorescence recovery of HOF, thus realizing the fluorescence quantitative detection of AA. These fluorescence responsive behaviors of Fe-HOF ensure fluorescence assay of AA within 0.5 − 8 μM, along with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.14 μM. The sensing platform could realize the rapid detection of ascorbic acid in vitamin C pills, tablets and beverages in the detection of ascorbic acid with good recoveries.
