Abstract
Through a solvothermal reaction between the corresponding lanthanide(III) nitrate, 1,10 o-phenanthroline and pyridine 3,5-dicarboxylic acid ligands, a novel two-dimensional terbium-based metal-organic framework (Tb-MOF), named {Tb2O0.5(C12H8N2)2(C7H3NO4)3(H2O)2.75}n (1) with strong fluorescence was synthesized by hydrothermal method. The single crystal structure and phase purity of the as-synthesized Tb-MOF were verified by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Subsequently, some studies on the morphology, structure, and optical properties of the compound were carried out. The results show that the synthesized Tb-MOF (1) can be used for the fluorescence sensing of nitrite and ferric ions. Simultaneously, the as-synthesized crystal structure offers good chemical stability in different environments, such as common organic solvents, solutions with a wide pH range, and aqueous solutions of metal ions. Besides, it has good chemical stability in a certain temperature range. In addition, a detection method for nitrite and iron ions was established based on the principle of fluorescence quenching of Tb-MOF by the analytical target, showing good recovery and precision. The proposed method provides a reliable new method for detecting nitrite and ferric ions concentrations in actual water samples.
