Abstract

A new metal-organic framework (MOF) with tetrazole-derived triphenylamine (TPA) as the ligand, namely Mn-TPA, has been successfully prepared and thoroughly characterized via thermogravimetric analysis, IR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, UV-vis absorption, fluorescence analysis, bond valence sum calculations, and single-crystal and powder X-ray diffraction analysis. The undulating monolayer of Mn-TPA can hinder the interaction and tight stacking among analytes, which creates a bionic microenvironment for the electrochemical recognition process. Mn-TPA exhibits high specific surface area, stable film-forming capacity, excellent electrochemical activity, and good biocompatibility. Furthermore, the developed Mn-TPA-based immunosensing system exhibits an excellent limit of detection of 0.50 pg·mL-1 toward vomitoxin, which is more outstanding than that of the reported vomitoxin-sensing system. Thus, this work shows the great potential of a well-designed MOF as an easy-to-make and highly sensitive electrochemical platform for biosensing in food safety detection and other fields.
