A new multifunctional anionic 3D Zn(ii)-MOF based on heptanuclear clusters: selective adsorption of organic dyes and a dual-emitting sensor for nitroantibiotics

A new multifunctional Zn-MOF (1) based on heptanuclear clusters was synthesized, which can adsorb cationic dyes selectively and serve as a dual-emission sensor for sensitive detection of nitrofuran antibiotics via luminescence quenching process.
