Selective dye sorption and metal ion sensing behaviours of a new Cd-based MOF

A Cd( ii )-based MOF shows selective and efficient sorption of remazol brilliant blue R (RBBR) dye and photoluminescence based sensing behaviors towards Fe 3+ , Cr 3+ and Al 3+ ions in aqueous medium with LOD values 75, 257 and 107 ppb, respectively.
