A multifunctional metal–organic framework with a μ₃-OH⁻ site for gas and vapor sorption and selective detection of nitrofurantoin

The excellent sorption capacity of 1 for CO 2 /H 2 O vapor is due to the weak interactions between μ 3 -OH − in 1 and CO 2 /H 2 O. The fluorescence sensing of 1 for NFT is ascribed to the combined effect of competitive absorption, weak interactions and PET.
