A multifunctional Eu-organic framework for fluorescence sensing properties and the detection of pyrimethanil in real samples

Europium metal–organic frameworks (Eu-MOFs) have unique application prospects in the field of fluorescence sensing, due to the fluorescence characteristics of Eu3+ ion and organic ligands, and the advantages of obvious red luminescence, long emission lifetime, large Stokes shift, and high quantum yield. In this study, a novel Eu-MOF was synthesized hydrothermally using europium acetate hexahydrate (Eu(Ac)3·6H2O), 5-(4′-carboxybenzyloxy) isophthalic acid (5-H3CIA), and 4,4′-bipyridine (4,4′-bipy). Structural analysis revealed that the Eu-MOF exhibited a three-dimensional framework with 4,4′-bipyridine as the guest molecule. Fluorescence sensing experiments revealed that 2,4,6-trinitrophenol, ornidazole, pyrimethanil, and Cr2O72− effectively quenched the fluorescence of the Eu-MOF in aqueous solution, with corresponding limits of detection as low as 0.886, 0.732, 0.569, and 2.800 μM, respectively. Exploiting the ability of Cr2O72− to quench the fluorescence of the Eu-MOF, we devised a Cr2O72−@Eu-MOF fluorescence silencing system that, in the presence of ascorbic acid, gradually recovered its fluorescence to form a unique fluorescence “on–off-on” sensor. In addition, the fluorescence sensing mechanism of Eu-MOF was studied, the fluorescence test was prepared to detect Cr2O72− with an open eye, and the content of pyrimethanil was detected in real samples, including cucumber skin, tomato skin, grape skin, apple and kiwi.

Aptamer-Based Electrochemical Biosensing Platform for Analysis of Cardiac Biomarkers.

Monitoring biomarkers secreted by cardiomyocytes is critical to evaluate anticancer drug-induced myocardial injury (MI). Cardiac troponin I (cTnI) is considered the gold standard biomarker for MI. Herein, an electrochemical aptasensor is engineered for cTnI detection based on lanthanide europium metal-organic frameworks (Eu-MOFs) and a hybridization chain reaction-directed DNAzyme strategy. Three types of Eu-MOF morphologies were easily synthesized by changing the solvent, and the Eu-MOF modulated by mixing the solvent of dimethylformamide and H2O (D-Eu-MOF) exhibited the best performance compared to other morphologies of the Eu-MOFs. Multifunctional nanoprobes were constructed from D-Eu-MOF@Pt loaded with natural horseradish peroxidase and combined with an aptamer-initiated nuclear acid hybridization chain reaction to form G-quadruplex/hemin DNAzymes for signal amplification. A novel capture probe is constructed on the basis of DNA nanotetrahedrons modified on screen-printed gold electrodes to enhance the capture of the target and multifunctional nanoprobes for signal amplification. It exhibits a detection limit of 0.17 pg mL-1 and a linear range from 0.5 pg mL-1 to 15 ng mL-1. The practicality of the platform is evaluated by measuring cTnI in real samples and secreted by cardiomyocytes after drug treatment, which provides great potential in drug-induced MI evaluation for clinical application.

Fluorescence Visualization Quantitative Detection of Tetracycline and Nitrofurantoin in Food and Natural Water by Zn2+@Eu-bpdc Composite.

Quantitative detection of tetracycline (TC) and nitrofurantoin (NFT) in food and water is of importance for food safety and environmental protection. Herein, Zn2+ was introduced into a europium metal-organic framework Eu-bpdc (H2bpdc = 2,2'-bipyridyl-5,5'-dicarboxylic acid) to prepare a composite of Zn2+@Eu-bpdc, which was developed as a fluorescence sensor for TC and NFT. The fluorescence mechanism concerns with bpdc2- ligand-to-Eu(III) charge transfer, and the detection mechanism is the inner filter effect. Zn2+@Eu-bpdc is a ratiometric fluorescence sensor for TC with the linear fitting equation of I520/I618 = 1.94 × 104 M-1CTC, whose limit of detection (LOD) is 0.148 μmol·L-1 (μM); it is also a fluorescence "turn-off" sensor for NFT with the fitting equation of (I0-I)/I = 3.62 × 104 M-1CNFT and LOD = 0.0792 μM. Zn2+@Eu-bpdc can detect TC or NFT in lake water, honey, and milk with high accuracy. The emission color changes of paper-based Zn2+@Eu-bpdc depending on CTC or CNFT reveal the visualization detections of TC and NFT. With the red and green values as input signals, smartphone-assisted on-site detection is utilized to recognize the antibiotic residuals of TC and NFT by a self-programmed APP. Zn2+@Eu-bpdc is promising in a smartphone-assisted intelligent platform for on-site detection of TC and NFT.

A feasible strategy for fabricating pH-responsive SN-38 loaded europium metal-organic framework delivery for promising treatment for breast cancer

One of the significant challenges in cancer therapy is the development of biocompatible drug delivery systems (DDS) with enhanced penetration retention effect (EPR) and precision targeting. The current study aimed to establish a one-pot synthesis of 7-ethyl-10-hydroxy camptothecin (SN-38) loaded europium-metal-organic framework (SN-38@Eu-MOF) and evaluate its anticancer potential against breast cancer. High drug loading efficiency (85.3 ± 0.02 % in 48 h at pH 5.0) and pH-sensitive regulated release of drug SN-38 were two characteristics of the fabricated Eu-MOFs. According to material characterization, the material's surface formed a monodispersed homogeneous rod-shaped structure adorned with SN-38, with an average particle size of 72 ± 0.23 nm. Results of anticancer assays demonstrated that when compared to SN-38 alone, SN-38@Eu-MOFs showed improved anticancer potential in breast cancer cells (MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231). According to the mechanism of anticancer potential, SN-38@Eu-MOFs increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and caused mitochondrial malfunction and DNA damage, which resulted in apoptosis. The study's findings indicate that SN-38@Eu-MOFs is a potentially biocompatible nanomaterial for drug delivery systems for treating breast cancer and other pharmaceutical applications.

Multifunctional Janus Membrane for Diabetic Wound Healing and Intelligent Monitoring.

The complex microenvironment of diabetic wounds often hinders the healing process, ultimately leading to the formation of diabetic foot ulcers and even death. Dual monitoring and treatment of wounds can significantly reduce the incidence of such cases. Herein, a multifunctional Janus membrane (3D chitosan sponge-ZE/polycaprolactone nanofibers-ZP) was developed by incorporating the zinc metal-organic framework, europium metal-organic framework, and phenol red into nanofibers for diabetic wound monitoring and treatment. The directional water transport capacity of the resulting Janus membrane allows for unidirectional and irreversible drainage of wound exudate, and the multifunctional Janus membrane creates up to a 99% antibacterial environment, both of which can treat wounds. Moreover, the pH (5-8) and H2O2 (0.00-0.80 μM) levels of the wound can be monitored using the color-changing property of phenol red and the fluorescence characteristic of Eu-MOF on the obtained membrane, respectively. The healing stages of the wound can also be monitored by analyzing the RGB values of the targeted membrane images. This design can more accurately reflect the wound state and treat the wound to reduce bacterial infection and accelerate wound healing, which has been demonstrated in in vivo experiments. The results provide an important basis for early intervention in diabetic patients.

Facile construction of a bifunctional Eu-MOF for selective fluorescence sensing and visible light photocatalysis of tetracycline

Contamination detection and removal are important steps in environmental monitoring and cleanup. In this study, europium metal-organic framework structures (Eu-MOF) were designed and prepared that can act as fluorescent probes and photocatalysts for the detection and removal of tetracycline (TC) antibiotics. Eu-MOF was generated by a one-step solvothermal method using europium ion as the metal ion and terephthalic acid as the organic ligand source. The red fluorescence of Eu-MOF is selectively enhanced by TC due to the antenna effect. Eu-MOF, which has a linear range of 0.5–60 μM, can be utilized as a fluorescent probe for tetracycline detection based on this phenomena. In particular, Eu-MOF was found to be able to effectively photocatalyze the degradation of TC, with tetracycline removal rates of about 70 % and 55 % after 180 min of irradiation under ultraviolet light (UV) light and simulated visible light, respectively. The photocatalytic ability of Eu-MOF originated from the generation of hydroxyl radicals (•OH), superoxide radicals (•O2−) and electron holes (h+) under light irradiation. This study innovatively proposed a bifunctional Eu-MOF for TC fluorescence detection and photocatalytic degradation, which provides a novel method for the quick and easy identification and elimination of pharmaceutical contaminants. It can also provide some reference value for the construction of ratiometric fluorescent probes and heterojunction photocatalysts and their application in the treatment of water pollution.

Synthesis of highly sensitive and multi-response Eu-MOF, fluorescence sensing properties and anti-counterfeiting applications

A new Europium metal–organic framework (Eu-MOF), namely [Eu(dpa) (H2O)]·0.5(bpy)·4H2O}n (H4dpa = 5-(3,4-dicarboxyphenoxy) isophenic acid, bpy = protonated 4,4′-bipyridine) was synthesized and structurally characterized by elemental analyses, infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray single-crystal diffraction analyses. Eu-MOF shows a three-dimensional network structure based on EuIII ions and (dpa)4− ligands via µ4: η1, η2, η2, η2 coordination mode. Fluorescence analysis shows that Eu-MOF has excellent fluorescence sensing characteristics, which can efficiently and sensitively detect various pollutants in water: the limit of detection (LOD) of ratiometric fluorescence detection of ANI in water was 42.9 nM, which was better than the single-peak detection limit. In addition, the peak detection limits of Eu-MOF for Flu, ORN and NB were 120 nM, 27 nM and 94 nM, respectively. In addition, XPS, LUMO orbital energy level, fluorescence lifetime, ultraviolet absorption and other principles are used to explore the mechanism of fluorescence quenching. Surprisingly, Eu-MOF not only has excellent anti- counterfeiting ability and stability, can be used as anti-counterfeiting material in life, but also has good selectivity to Flu. Eu-MOF has obvious fluorescence quenching effect on Flu on paper under ultraviolet light, which can be used for rapid in situ imaging test paper of pesticide residues.

Rapid redox-response featured visual ascorbic acid sensor based on simple-assembled europium metal-organic framework

A facile, fast and visible sensing platform for ascorbic acid (AA) detection has been developed based on self-assembled hydrangea-like europium metal-organic framework (HL-EuMOF). HL-EuMOF was synthesized through a simple one-step mixing process with Eu3+ and 1, 10-phenanthroline-2, 9-dicarboxylic acid at room temperature, which exhibited excellent properties including strong red fluorescence, long decay lifetime (548.623 μs) and good luminescent stability. Based on the specific redox reaction between Fe3+ and AA, the HL-EuMOF@Fe3+ was fabricated with “turn-off” response for AA, where the resulting Fe2+ displayed effective fluorescence quenching ability toward HL-EuMOF. The sensor demonstrated low detection limit (31.94 nM), rapid response time (30 s) and high selectivity. Integration of smartphone-assisted RGB analysis with HL-EuMOF@Fe3+ permitted convenient and visible quantitative determination of AA level. This approach also presented good detection performances in complex human serum and beverage samples, which could provide a valuable tool for AA detection in biomedical research and food industry.

Lab on the Microneedles: A Wearable Metal-organic Frameworks-Based Sensor for Visual Monitoring of Stress Hormone.

Abnormal secretion and dysrhythmias of cortisol (CORT) are associated with various diseases such as sleep disorders, depression, and chronic fatigue. Wearable devices are a cutting-edge technology for point-of-care detection and dynamic monitoring of CORT with inspiring convenience. Herein, we developed a minimally invasive skin-worn device with the advanced integration of both interstitial fluid (ISF) sampling and target molecule sensing for simultaneous detection of CORT via a microneedle-based sensor with high sensitivity, excellent efficiency, and outstanding reproducibility. In the microneedle patch, swellable hydrogel was employed as the adsorption matrix for ISF extraction. Meanwhile, europium metal-organic frameworks (Eu-MOF) wrapped in the matrix played a vital role in CORT recognition and quantitative analysis. The wearable and label-free Eu-MOF-loaded microneedle patch exhibited high sensitivity in CORT detection with the detection limit reaching 10-9 M and excellent selectivity. Molecular dynamics simulation-driven mechanism exploration revealed that the strong interface interaction promoted fluorescence quenching of Eu-MOF. Moreover, in vitro and in vivo investigation confirmed the feasibility and reliability of the sensing method, and excellent biocompatibility was validated. Overall, a sensitive approach based on the wearable Eu-MOF microneedle (MN) patch was established for the simultaneous detection of CORT via visible fluorescence quenching with exciting clinical-translational ability.

A europium(III) metal-organic framework as effective fluorescence sensor for detection of ofloxacin antibiotic

Antibiotic overuse, a critical global concern, poses significant threats to both the eco-environment and human health. Thus, selective and sensitive detection of antibiotics is an extremely important issue. Herein, a europium(III) metal-organic framework Eu2(FA)3(H2O)4·2DMAC (1) (FA = fumaric acid, DMAC = dimethylacetamide) was synthesized by solvothermal strategy. Single-crystal structural analyses indicate that Eu3+ ions are double-bridged by carboxylate groups of fumarate ligands to create one-dimensional (1D) infinite chains, which further form a 3D pillared-layer framework. 1 exhibits superior fluorescence detection performance toward ofloxacin (OFLX) with a high quenching efficiency Ksv of 4.1 × 104 M−1 and low detection limit of 2.4 × 10−6 M, and demonstrates excellent anti-interference properties and durability. Furthermore, the mechanism of fluorescence quenching was mainly attributed to static quenching process and internal filtration effect.

Fast fluorescence sensing of aflatoxin B1 employing a europium metal–organic framework avoiding self-fluorescence interference of target

Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) easily contaminates grain, oil, and their products, and is strongly carcinogenic. Therefore, rapid, efficient and sensitive detection of aflatoxin plays a key role in the food industry. Here, we prepared a lanthanide metal-organic framework termed Eu-TCPP, in which the ligand can effectively sensitize Eu3+ with excellent photoluminescence properties. It is worth mentioning that the fluorescence intensity of Eu-TCPP is at 617 nm, which can avoid the interferences of AFB1 self-fluorescence emitting in the range of 400 nm–500 nm. Eu-TCPP can efficiently detect AFB1 without using antibody or biomolecular modifications, exhibiting a rapid response of 60 seconds and a limit of detection (LOD) at 11.63 ppb. The Eu-TCPP sensor also has satisfactory performance for determining AFB1 sensitively in real oil samples. In addition, the mechanism of the excellent detection performance of Eu-TCPP has been investigated using density-functional theory (DFT) calculations combined with experimental analysis. The results show that the LUMO energy level of the ligand is higher than that of the aflatoxin, which causes the electrons transfer toward the targets, and results in the reduction of the fluorescence intensity. Therefore, our proposed Eu-MOF materials based on the "antenna effect" have great potential for the development of simple, fast, and sensitive small-molecule sensors, and offer a promising prospect in POCT applications.

A Water‐Stable Europium Metal‐Organic Framework as a Turn‐Off Fluorescence Sensor for Ascorbic Acid Detection in Human Serum

AbstractAscorbic acid (AA) is a biomarker of some nervous system diseases, whose detection is of significance in many fields. The hydrothermal reaction of naphthalene‐2,6‐dicarboxylic acid (H2NDBC) with Eu3+ produced a europium MOF, Eu‐NDBC. Eu‐NDBC emits the combined emissions from the intraligand charge transfer (ILCT) of NDBC2− ligand and 5D0→7Fj (j=1–4) transfers of Eu(III). The factors of MOF dosage, pH and fluorescence response time are optimized as 0.6 mg, 7.35, and 5 min respectively. The sensitivity test shows a linear fitting equation of I0/I=0.00239 ⋅ CAA+1.03774 (CAA=AA concentration), with its limit of detection calculated as 4.53 μM in a wide linear range of 0–900 μM. The linear fitting of Stern‐Volmer equation gives KSV=2.46×103 M−1 and Kq=4.96×106 M−1 S−1, suggesting Eu‐NDBC sensing AA is a dynamic fluorescence quenching process. Nine control amino acids can't affect Eu‐NDBC sensing AA and the emission intensity stay stable in five fluorescence quenching‐recovery cycles. The returned CAA closed to the set CAA and the recoveries around 100 % support the accurate AA detection by Eu‐NDBC in human serum. Totally, Eu‐NDBC can be regarded as a quantitative turn‐off fluorescence sensor to AA with high sensitivity and selectivity, rapid response and durability.

Formulation of lactoferrin decorated dextran based chitosan-coated europium metal-organic framework for targeted delivery of curcumin

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HPTC) currently ranks as the third leading cause of cancer-related mortality, necessitating an advanced formulation strategy. Recently, lactoferrin (Lf) has been utilized as a specific targeting ligand in HPTC due to its high specificity towards the asialoglycoprotein receptor expressed in cancer cells. Therefore, we present the fabrication of an Lf-decorated carboxymethyl dextran-encased chitosan-coated europium metal-organic framework-based nanobioconjugate (Lf-CMD-CS-CUR@Eu-MOF) for targeted curcumin (CUR) delivery. Briefly, CUR was loaded into Eu-MOF, followed by coating cationic ‘CS’ on the CUR@Eu-MOF surface. Simultaneously, Lf-decorated CMD was prepared via an esterification reaction. Subsequently, Lf-CMD-CS-CUR@Eu-MOF was synthesized using the Maillard reaction. Various spectral characterizations, drug entrapment, drug content, in vitro drug release, biocompatibility and cell cytotoxicity studies were performed. It exhibited an entrapment efficiency of 88.87 ± 2.1 %, a drug content of 3.45 ± 0.98 %, and a drug loading rate of 34.85 ± 0.6 mg/g. Furthermore, the Lf-CMD-CS-CUR@Eu-MOF exhibits excellent biocompatibility with normal cells. The in vitro dissolution study confirmed a release of 78.12 % of ‘CUR’ in pH 5.8 phosphate buffer (over 120 h), attributed to the controlled release rate by the ‘CS’ coating on the surface of CUR@Eu-MOF. The BEL-7402 cell line showed concentration-dependent toxicity of nanobioconjugate to cancerous cells. Therefore, when ‘Lf’ is surface-decorated onto an appropriate polymeric material, it gains the capability to function as a carrier for transporting ‘CUR’ to the precise target site within HPTC. In conclusion, Lf-CMD incorporated CS-coated Eu-MOF can provide a promising approach for targeted drug delivery in HPTC management.

Sensitive electrochemiluminescence immunosensor based on a novel luminescent europium metal–organic framework and antenna effect for detecting pro-gastrin-releasing peptide

Sensitive detection of pro-gastrin-releasing peptide (Pro-GRP) is crucial because it is a highly sensitive and specific tumor marker for small cell lung cancer. Herein, we synthesized an efficient luminescent europium metal–organic framework and developed a sandwich ECL immunosensor for the sensitive detection of Pro-GRP, which used Eu3+ as the central ion and 2,4,6-tri (4-carboxyphenyl)-1,3,5-triazine (H3TATB) as the organic ligand. H3TATB acted as a strong absorbing reagent and transferred its energy to Eu3+ via the antenna effect to enhance the ECL response signal of Eu3+. As per calculations, the ECL efficiency of Eu-TATB, which was a promising ECL luminophore, was up to 130 %. The Cu2O cube worked as a substrate to assist the electron transfer and was used as a co-reaction accelerator to catalyze S2O82− to produce more SO4•− and then enhance the ECL intensity of Eu-TATB. Under optimal experimental conditions, the ECL immunosensor had a linear range of 5 fg mL−1–50 ng mL−1 for detecting Pro-GRP with a detection limit of 1.6 fg mL−1; moreover, it demonstrated excellent stability and specificity and has been successfully applied for detecting Pro-GRP in the human serum.

Dual-mode detection of 2,6-pyridinedicarboxylic acid based on the enhanced peroxidase-like activity and fluorescence property of novel Eu-MOFs.

2,6-Pyridinedicarboxylic acid (DPA) is a significant biomarker of anthrax, which is a deadly infectious disease for human beings. However, the development of a convenient anthrax detection method is still a challenge. Herein, we report a novel europium metal-organic framework (Eu-MOF) with an enhanced peroxidase-like activity and fluorescence property for DPA detection. The Eu-MOF was one-step synthesized using Eu3+ ions and 2-methylimidazole. In the presence of DPA, the intrinsic fluorescence of Eu3+ ions is sensitized, the fluorescence intensity linearly increases with an increase in DPA concentration, and the fluorescence color changes from blue to purple. Simultaneously, the peroxide-like activity of the Eu-MOF is enhanced by DPA, which can promote the oxidation of TMB to oxTMB. The absorbance values increase linearly with DPA concentrations, and the colorimetric images change from colorless to blue. The dual-mode detection of DPA has good sensitivity with a colorimetric detection limit of 0.67 μM and a fluorescent detection limit of 16.67 nM. Moreover, a simple detection method for DPA was developed using a smartphone with the RGB analysis system. A portable kit with standard color cards was developed using paper test strips. The proposed methods have good practicability for DPA detection in real samples. In conclusion, the developed Eu-MOF biosensor offers a valuable and general platform for anthrax diagnosis.

Eu-MOF-Based Fluorescent Ratiometric Sensor by Detecting 3,4,5-Trihydroxybenzoic for Fingerprint Visualization on Porous Objects

Latent fingerprints (LFPs) at the crime scene are served as important clues to locate the trajectory of criminal behavior and portray the characteristics of the suspect. Therefore, visualizing LFPs is of considerable significance. In this work, the europium metal-organic framework (Eu-MOF) sensor was successfully constructed for sensitive detection of gallic acid (3,4,5-trihydroxybenzoic acid, GA) and visualization of the sweat LFPs. The boric-acid-modified Eu-MOF was prepared by using the simple one-pot solvothermal method using Eu as the metal ion center and 3,5-dicarboxybenzeneboronic acid (BBDC) as the organic ligand. The sensor showed desirable photoluminescent performance through the chelating of BBDC with Eu3+. The sensor exhibited the satisfactory linear relationship to GA in the range of 1 nM to 20 nM with a low detection limit of 0.34 nM under the optimized conditions. The prepared sensor with ideal selectivity to GA was successfully applied for visualizing LFPs on porous substrates with the high contrast and superior stability. Given the good performance of the sensor, all fingerprint images obtained from 1 200 samples presented clear friction ridges and met the identification criteria. Notably, the sensor had less impact on the subsequent deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) detection, displaying a promising perspective for applications in extracting physical evidence of site investigation.

Metal-organic framework integrated hydrogel bioreactor for smart detection of metal ions

Bioreactors with environment responsiveness for smart detection has attracted widespread interest. Bioreactors that operate in liquid have excellent reaction speed and sensitivity, and those that operate at a solid interface have unique portability and stability. However, bioreactors that can simultaneously take advantage of both properties are still limited. Here, we developed a metal-organic framework (MOF) integrated hydrogel bioreactor that can accommodate both solid and liquid properties by using a hydrogel as a quasi-liquid medium. To enhance the stability and intelligence of the hydrogel bioreactor, we have opted for the utilization of europium metal-organic framework (Eu-MOF) as the optical output to withstand long-term storage challenges, and DNA as the highly programmable substance for intelligent target response. On this basis, smart detection of metal ions and biological micro-molecules have been achieved. Notably, this quasi-liquid hydrogel bioreactor has effectively tackled the intrinsic issues of inadequate dispersion stability of Eu-MOF in liquid systems and poor stability of DNA against environmental interference. Moreover, this MOF integrated hydrogel bioreactor has been applied to the construction of a portable hydrogel bioreactor, which enables platform-free and arrayed target detection via a smartphone, providing a new perspective for further promoting the application of quasi-liquid hydrogel bioreactors and intelligent nanobiological sensors.

A Europium Metal-Organic Framework and Its Polymer Composite Membrane as Switch-Off Fluorescence Sensors for Antibiotic Detection in Lake Water.

The detection of antibiotic residues is of great significance in monitoring their overuse in healthcare, livestock and poultry farming, and agricultural production. Herein, EuCl3 and 4,4'-dicarboxyl-diphenoxyethene (H2DPOE) ionothermally reacted in 1-methyl-3-butylimidazolium chloride to give a europium metal-organic framework (Eu-DPOE). Eu-DPOE shows different fluorescence quenching rates for sensing eight antibiotics under different excitation wavelengths. Eu-DPOE displays a fast response, high selectivity, and sensitivity in antibiotic detection by fluorescence quenching. Eu-DPOE can sensitively detect TCs (tetracyclines), NOR (norfloxacin), NFT (furazolidone), ODZ (ornidazole), SDZ (sulfadiazine), and CHL (chloramphenicol) with limits of detection below 0.5 μmol/L. It provides a convenient and rapid tool for sensing antibiotics in aqueous solution. The detection mechanism is a competition absorption between DPOE2- and antibiotics with the supports from powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), UV-vis spectra, and fluorescence lifetime. With a composite membrane of poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) matrix loading Eu-DPOE (Eu-DPOE@PVDF), Eu-DPOE@PVDF exhibits a visual fluorescence response to NOR under a 254 nm UV lamp and NFT and CTC under 365 nm. Eu-DPOE@PVDF is applied in the quantitative detection of CTC, NOR, and NFT in lake water with recovery rates ranging from 88.37 to 113.8%. Totally, fluorescence-quenched Eu-DPOE@PVDF exhibits a fast response, high selectivity, and sensitivity in sensing CTC, NOR, and NFT.
