Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of chemistry, specifically to a three-dimensional cadmium metal-organic framework material with fluorescence detection function, its synthesis, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] p-Nitrophenol, also known as 4-nitrophenol, is one of the most commonly used phenols globally. It is a highly toxic and persistent organic pollutant, listed as a priority pollutant by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. It is widely used in pharmaceutical, pesticide, and dye industries, originating from industrial wastewater, pesticide use, and dye application. PNP exhibits carcinogenic, teratogenic, and mutagenic effects, and can disrupt the endocrine system, damaging organs such as the hematopoietic, nervous, liver, and kidneys. Due to its high environmental persistence, it easily accumulates in water and soil and amplifies through the food chain, posing a serious threat to ecosystems and human health. Current detection methods for PNP include high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and electrochemical methods. Designing a material capable of accurately and efficiently identifying p-nitrophenol is crucial for improving detection efficiency.
[0003] Current detection methods are mostly complex and time-consuming. In contrast, fluorescence-based methods offer lower detection limits, faster reaction rates, and simpler operation, making them a promising approach for detecting p-nitrophenol.
[0004] Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are novel porous crystalline materials formed by the self-assembly of metal ions / clusters and organic ligands through coordination bonds. Their highly designable crystal structures, large specific surface areas, tunable pore sizes, and surface chemistry provide an ideal platform for applications in cutting-edge fields such as gas storage and separation, heterogeneous catalysis, chemical sensing, drug delivery, and proton conduction. Particularly in the field of chemical sensing, especially in fluorescence detection, MOFs demonstrate immense application potential. Their extremely fast fluorescence response, designable fluorescent sites, and low detection limits offer unique advantages over other detection methods. Consequently, an increasing number of metal fluorescent probes are being designed for the detection of environmental pollutants and toxins, small molecule food products, and biotoxins. Currently, however, no fluorescent probes based on MOFs have been developed for the recognition of p-nitrophenol.
[0005] As a unique cadmium metal-organic framework material, its fluorescence properties mainly derive from ligand luminescence. A three-dimensional metal-organic framework with a double-interpenetrating structure is constructed through coordination between metallic cadmium and carboxyl groups in the ligands. Its fluorescence properties enable the specific detection of p-nitrophenol, exhibiting low detection limits, high sensitivity, and strong anti-interference capabilities. Summary of the Invention
