Ion coordination and chelation in Eu-MOFs matrices: ultrafast fluorescence visual quantification monitoring of antibiotic residues

Rapid monitoring of trace antibiotics in the field in real time is essential for environment forewarning and human health. High sensitivity and real-time on-site quantitative monitoring of antibiotic residues can be accomplished by integrating portable sensors alongside fluorescent optics to construct an intelligent sensing platform that smoothly eliminates the instability of conventional detection methods. In this study, a ratiometric fluorescence sensor for the ultrasensitive detection of pefloxacin was built employing the photoinduced electron transfer (PET) mechanism from red Eu-MOFs to Mn
