An uncommon 3D (3,8)-connected metal-organic framework: Luminescence sensing and photocatalytic properties

A 3D two-fold interpenetrating network with (3,8)-connected tfz-d topology exhibits impressive pH stability, strong luminescence and photocatalytic properties, making it an excellent candidate in fluorescence sensing of Hg2+, Cr2O72- and nitroexplosives as well as photocatalysis of organic dyes.208
