A new cluster-based metal-organic framework with triazine backbones for selective luminescent detection of mercury(II) ion

A new 3D cluster-based luminescence metal-organic framework with triazine backbones has been successfully synthesized. This compound could behave as an effective sensor for detecting Hg2+ ion with high selectivity and sensitivity even in the presence of competing metal ions. Furthermore, the sensing mechanism has also been investigated in detail.351
