An -OH group functionalized MOF for ratiometric Fe3+ sensing

The first luminescent -OH functionalized EuOHBDC Eu2(OH-BDC)3 (OH-BDC=2-hydroxyterephthalic acid) synthesized by hydrothermal reaction and in situ ligand synthesis have been realized for highly sensitive and selective ratiomatric luminescent sensor for Fe3+ ion.353
