Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of detection, in particular to a rare earth metal-organic framework material, a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a class of hybrid porous materials composed of metal ions or clusters and organic linkers. Over the past decades, these materials have attracted considerable research interest due to their defining features such as extremely high specific surface area, structural tunability and designable pore environment. This makes them superior to many traditional porous materials. Among various MOF families, lanthanide-doped materials (Ln-MOFs) are considered as particularly promising luminescent materials. This prominence is attributed to the unique photophysical properties of lanthanides, including large Stokes shift, sharp characteristic emission lines and long luminescence lifetime. The "antenna effect" is considered as a key advantage of lanthanide metal-organic frameworks (Ln-MOFs) as luminescent materials, in which organic ligands efficiently absorb light energy and transfer it to the lanthanide ions, resulting in an enhanced strong luminescence effect. This intrinsic luminescent property is highly susceptible to interactions with guest molecules, thus lanthanide metal-organic framework materials (Ln-MOFs) exhibit high application potential as fluorescent sensors. The ability to tailor their structure by selecting specific metal ions and multifunctional organic linkers enables the rational design of sensors with high selectivity and sensitivity to a wide range of analytes, from ions and small molecules to biological macromolecules.

[0003] With increasing concerns about environmental pollution and biosecurity threats, there is a growing demand for sensing materials capable of detecting harmful substances in various fields. Malachite green (MG) has been widely used as a bactericide and parasiticide in the aquaculture industry due to its low cost and significant bactericidal effect. However, due to the high toxicity, carcinogenicity and mutagenicity of MG and its metabolite leucomalachite green, they pose a serious threat to human health, and therefore their use is strictly prohibited or severely restricted in many countries. In addition, since the substance persists in aquatic environments and undergoes bioaccumulation in the food chain, it is necessary to develop rapid, sensitive and on-site detection methods to monitor its illegal use and environmental residues.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the technical solutions of the present application will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, but not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work shall fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0024] In a first aspect, the present application provides a rare earth metal-organic framework material, the general formula of the material is: {[Ln4(THBA)2(H2O)5]·4H2O} n , wherein Ln is Eu 3+ or Tb 3+ ; THBA is a deprotonated [1,1',4',1''-triphenyl]-2',3,3',5,5',5''-hexacarboxylic acid ligand; The material belongs to a triclinic system, and the space group is P 1, has a three-dimensional porous framework structure, each Eu 3+ or Tb 3+ ion is in an octahedral coordination; n is an integer, and n≥1.

[0025] In some embodiments, the three-dimensional porous framework structure is formed by connecting the binuclear lanthanide clusters as nodes through the THBA ligand, and the porosity of the three-dimensional porous framework structure is 7.7%.

[0026] A three-dimensional porous framework is constructed by using a rigid, multidentate H6THBA organic ligand and lanthanide ions. This structure provides the basis for the "antenna effect": the ligand effectively absorbs ultraviolet light and efficiently transfers energy to the rare earth ions, exciting the latter to emit strong and pure characteristic fluorescence.

[0027] a triclinic system, P a space group 1, and an octahedral three-dimensional network composed of binuclear cluster nodes and rigid ligands, which together form a robust framework structure. This enables the internal pores (7.7%) of the material to remain unchanged under thermal and chemical environmental changes, which is the key to its practical application potential. The material can produce strong and sharp-peaked red (Eu 3+ ) or green (Tb 3+) characteristic fluorescence, high signal-to-noise ratio, very conducive to fluorescence sensing and visualization applications. The three-dimensional framework structure endows the material with excellent thermal stability and chemical stability, can withstand high temperature and various organic solvents, different pH value of acid and alkali solution, to ensure its reliability in long-term use in complex actual environment.

[0028] In a second aspect, the present application also provides a preparation method of the above-mentioned rare earth metal-organic framework material, comprising the following steps: S1, reacting H6THBA ligand, Ln(NO3)3·H2O and o-fluorobenzoic acid solution to obtain colorless needle-shaped crystals; S2, placing the colorless needle-shaped crystals in a mixed solvent composed of N,N-dimethylformamide and deionized water, and transferring to a reaction container; S3, using polytetrafluoroethylene as a gasket for the reaction of the reaction container, and then adjusting the reaction temperature to room temperature to obtain product crystals; S4, filtering the product crystals, washing with DMF and drying under vacuum to obtain the product.

[0029] In some embodiments, the molar ratio of H6THBA ligand, Ln(NO3)3·H2O and o-fluorobenzoic acid in S1 is (1-3):(2-4):(2-4).

[0030] In some embodiments, the molar ratio of H6THBA ligand, Ln(NO3)3·H2O and o-fluorobenzoic acid in S1 is 1:2:2.

[0031] In some embodiments, the volume ratio of N,N-dimethylformamide to deionized water in S2 is 1:(3-5).

[0032] In some embodiments, the volume ratio of N,N-dimethylformamide to deionized water in S2 is 1:4.

[0033] Using the solvothermal method, under a specific temperature (145°C) and time (72h), an ideal environment is provided for slow and orderly growth of crystals, ensuring high crystallinity and phase purity of the product. The molar ratio of key reactants (H6THBA, Ln salt, o-fluorobenzoic acid) and the volume ratio of mixed solvents (DMF / H2O) are determined. o-Fluorobenzoic acid acts as a modulator in this process, competitively coordinating the metal center, promoting the formation of a specific crystal structure, preventing precipitation, and thus obtaining high-quality needle-shaped single crystals.

[0034] The method is simple in operation, definite in conditions, and high in yield, and can stably and repeatedly prepare high-purity Ln-MOFs crystals with consistent structures, thereby laying a foundation for large-scale preparation. The obtained material is a single crystal material, which is beneficial to structure analysis and performance research, and the powder sample has good phase purity, thereby ensuring the consistency of subsequent sensing performance.

[0035] In a third aspect, the present application provides a sensing film prepared by mixing the rare earth metal-organic framework material and polymethyl methacrylate in N,N-dimethylformamide.

[0036] In some embodiments, the mass ratio of the rare earth metal-organic framework material and polymethyl methacrylate in N,N-dimethylformamide is 1:10.

[0037] In a fourth aspect, the present application provides a covert anti-counterfeiting ink prepared by mixing the rare earth metal-organic framework material and a mixed solution of ethanol and ethylene glycol.

[0038] In some embodiments, the ethanol and ethylene glycol are mixed in a volume ratio of 1:5.

[0039] In a fifth aspect, the present application provides a fluorescent sensor comprising the rare earth metal-organic framework material.

[0040] The powder-like Ln-MOFs are compounded with a polymer matrix (PMMA) to prepare a flexible sensing film, or are coated on the surface of an LED lamp bead, or are dispersed in an alcohol solvent to prepare a covert ink, which essentially endows the intrinsic fluorescent properties of the material to different physical forms and carriers. When the devices contact analytes (such as MG) or are excited by ultraviolet light, the fluorescence quenching or emission properties of the material itself are embodied at the macroscopic device level, thereby realizing the detection or anti-counterfeiting function.

[0041] The transition from laboratory powder samples to portable and naked-eye observable devices is successfully realized. The sensing film and the LED lamp bead make it possible to realize on-site rapid detection. The developed devices can not only be used for detecting malachite green, but also can be extended to the fields of advanced anti-counterfeiting marks and information encryption, thereby realizing the effect of “writing and hiding at the same time, and showing under ultraviolet light”, and having a wide range of applications.

[0042] In a sixth aspect, the present application provides the application of the rare earth metal-organic framework material in preparing a chemical sensing material, or in visible light fluorescence detection of MG and DPA.

[0043] The following will be described in combination with specific embodiments: Embodiment 1 Colorless needle-like crystals were obtained by solvothermal reaction of H6THBA (25 mg, 0.05 mmol), Eu(N03)3-6H20 (45 mg, 0.1 mmol) and o-fluorobenzoic acid powder (100 mg, 0.1 mmol).

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) was used as a liner, and the reaction was carried out at 145 °C for 72 hours, and then the oven was slowly cooled to room temperature.

Example 2: Colorless needle-like crystals were obtained by solvothermal reaction of H6THBA (25 mg, 0.05 mmol), Tb(N03)3-6H20 (45 mg, 0.1 mmol) and o-fluorobenzoic acid powder (100 mg, 0.1 mmol).

[0046] The compound of 71 mmol was placed in 5 mL of mixed solvent consisting of N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) and deionized water (volume ratio 1 :4), and then transferred into a 25 mL stainless steel reactor. Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) was used as a liner, and the reaction was carried out at 145 °C for 72 hours, and then the oven was slowly cooled to room temperature. The crystalline product was filtered, washed with DMF and dried under vacuum, and recorded as Tb-MOF, with a yield of 69%.

[0047] Fourier spectrum: FT-IR (KBr, v / cm 1): 3892(w), 3746(w), 3613(w), 3525(w),2799(w), 1654(m), 1605(s), 1546(s), 1448(s), 1393(s), 1254(m), 1149(w), 1115(w), 1016(w), 947(w), 833(m), 775(m), 739(m), 582(w), 524(w). Experimental Example 1: Characterization of the structures of Eu-MOF and Tb-MOF Based on single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis and PXRD patterns, both Eu-MOF and Tb-MOF were identified as isomorphic crystals belonging to the triclinic crystal system. This study selected niobium-based metal-organic frameworks (Eu-MOF) as a typical example for structural analysis. This material... P Crystallization in space group 1 ( Figure 1 (a) Its niobium-based metal-organic framework's asymmetric unit structure consists of four crystallographically independent Eu(III) ions, two deprotonated hexacarboxylic acid ligands, five coordinated water molecules, and four lattice water molecules. Each Eu... 3+ The ion coordinates with two coordinated water molecules and six ligand-derived oxygen atoms, with each of the two carboxyl groups of the ligands contributing two oxygen atoms and the other two carboxyl groups each contributing one oxygen atom. This forms an eight-coordinate structure. The Eu value was calculated using the SHAPE program. 3+ The ion coordination geometry exhibits a double-reinforced triangular prism structure, possessing a J50-coordination configuration. Figure 1 (b)). The bond length of the coordinate bond Eu 3+ The bond lengths with O atoms range from 2.289 Å to 2.520 Å. A unique coordination mode was observed when the HBA ligand interacts with Eu... 3+ Ion binding, specifically manifested by the HBA ligand, half of which is a carboxylic acid group, binding via (μ-η) 1 η 1 ) Chelation pattern and Eu 3+ Ions bind together, while the other half binds through (μ-η). 1 η 1 The coordination is achieved through a double-tooth bridging mode, as shown in the coordination mode below. Figure 1 As shown in (c). During the structural construction, two Eu... 3+ The ions are bridged by a carboxylate group on the central benzene ring. An HBA ligand, followed by another ligand, binds to these two metal ions, forming an infinitely extending one-dimensional metal chain. These metal chains are interconnected and extend through ligands, thus constructing a two-dimensional structure parallel to the ab plane. Figure 1(d)). These similar two-dimensional planes are further connected by ligands and extend along the three-dimensional direction to form an infinitely extending three-dimensional porous framework structure. Figure 1 (e) PLATON software calculated its porosity to be 7%.

[0048] The phase purity of the Ln-MOF powder samples was characterized using X-ray powder diffraction. Figure 2 The results showed that the PXRD diffraction peak pattern of the synthesized sample was consistent with the simulation results. Furthermore, to investigate the thermal stability of lanthanide metal-organic frameworks (Ln-MOFs), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) under a nitrogen (N) atmosphere was used to study the thermal stability of the materials from room temperature to 1000 °C. The thermal stability differences between tungsten-based metal-organic frameworks (Tb-MOFs) and tungsten-europium metal-organic frameworks (Eu-MOFs) were also investigated in the experiment. They are isomorphic crystals with similar thermal decomposition curves. As shown in the thermogravimetric analysis (TG) curves, the sample mass showed a continuous decreasing trend with increasing temperature. When the temperature reached approximately 100 °C, the sample began to exhibit a 7.4% weight loss, which may be due to the escape of free water molecules in the channels and the detachment of coordinated water molecules in the framework. Figure 3 When the temperature reaches approximately 600°C, significant weight loss occurs, indicating that the framework structure of the MOFs almost completely collapses. This demonstrates that Eu-MOFs and Tb-MOFs possess good thermal stability and can maintain their structural integrity over a relatively high temperature range.

[0049] Experiment Example 2: Stability Verification Eu-MOFs were immersed in water and ethanol and treated with N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), cyclohexane, acetonitrile, and dichloromethane solutions for 24 hours, respectively. PXRD analysis showed that they remained in a pure phase state. Figure 4 (a)). These results fully demonstrate the excellent solvent stability of europium-based metal-organic frameworks (Eu-MOFs). Eu-MOFs were then immersed in aqueous solutions with pH values ​​ranging from 2 to 12 for 24 hours, followed by PXRD measurements ( Figure 4 (b) The obtained PXRD pattern is highly consistent with the simulation data. Furthermore, solvent stability and pH stability tests were performed on Tb-MOF. Through the above procedures, we arrive at the same conclusion as before: this material can maintain its structural integrity under different solvent and acid / alkali conditions. Figure 5 This indicates that lanthanide MOFs (Eu-MOF) and Tb-MOF also exhibit good stability in acidic and alkaline solutions.

[0050] Experiment Example 3: Performance Testing of Rare Earth Metal-Organic Framework Materials The Eu-MOF sample was thoroughly ground and prepared into a 0.5 mg·mL⁻¹ solution. -1 An aqueous solution was sonicated for 30 minutes to form a stable suspension. To investigate the fluorescence sensing properties of europium-based metal-organic frameworks (Eu-MOF) for small molecule analytes, 5 μL of common small molecule analytes were selected for the experiment, including uric acid (UA), gallic acid (GA), fatty acids (FA), homovanillic acid (HVA), and dopamine (DA). Maleic acid (MA), niacin (NA), ascorbic acid (AOA), and malachite green (MG) were also included. These analytes were added to the prepared suspensions, and the fluorescence emission spectra of the mixed systems were detected at an excitation wavelength of 344 nm. After adding the small molecule analytes to the Eu-MOF aqueous suspension, the detection results showed that ( Figure 6 (a)). Except for malachite green (MG), which exhibited significant quenching, the other analytes had relatively weak effects on the fluorescence emission of the Eu-MOF suspension. These results indicate that Eu-MOF has good selectivity for MG.

[0051] To quantitatively evaluate the sensing ability of Eu-MOF for MG and to investigate its limit of detection, a fluorescence titration experiment was performed. Figure 7 (a) When different concentrations of MG solution were added to the prepared Eu-MOF solution, the fluorescence intensity of Eu-MOF continuously decreased. A good linear relationship was observed between concentration and fluorescence intensity as the molar concentration of MG increased. Therefore, the limit of detection (LOD) of MG was estimated to be 0.139 μM ( Figure 7 (b) The result was calculated using the formula 3σ / k (where σ represents the standard deviation and k represents the slope of the calibration curve). The LOD (minimum inhibitory dose) of Eu-MOF for MG was significantly lower than the infectious dose of bacterial endotoxin to humans (1 μg / kg). Considering whether isomorphic crystals have the same sensing effect against the same recognition agent, a cross-experiment was conducted based on this focus, in which two crystals were tested as targets for each other. The analyte was used as the analytical substance. At the same time, a luminescence sensing experiment was conducted on Tb-MOF for MG, and it was found that this crystal showed good concentration gradient relationship with MG. Figure 7 (c)); good linear correlation was obtained by fitting experimental data, and the detection limit was as low as 0.089 μM ( Figure 7 (d) The results show that the detection limit of the material studied is lower than that of the reference sample, further confirming that the synthesized crystal has broad application prospects.

[0052] The specificity of Eu-MOF was further investigated on MG, and its specific fluorescence response in the presence of other small molecule analytes was explored in detail. To further investigate the effect of interfering substances, the concentration of the interfering substances was set to the same level as that of MG. As shown in the figure, the experimental results show that even in the presence of equimolar amounts of other small molecule analytes, MG still induces fluorescence quenching of Eu-MOF. This demonstrates the characteristics of Eu-MOF. This method exhibits excellent anti-interference ability in MG fluorescence quenching sensing. Figure 6 (b) Therefore, it can serve as a highly selective probe for MG detection in complex matrices. Recyclability is recognized as one of the key indicators for evaluating the practicality of fluorescent sensors. Therefore, the recyclability of Eu-MOF as a fluorescent probe for MG was studied. After MG sensing was completed, Eu-MOF was thoroughly washed with a water-ethanol-water solvent system until the supernatant was clear. Subsequently, the washed powder was subjected to multiple rounds of centrifugation and drying, and finally redispersed in an aqueous solution. The results showed that the obtained fluorescence emission spectrum and intensity ratio were basically the same as the original spectrum. After repeating the process, the changes in fluorescence intensity in five consecutive Eu-MOF detection cycles were as follows: The migration data to MG has been recorded ( Figure 8 (b) The data clearly show that Eu-MOF exhibits excellent cycling performance, and the entire sensing process is stable and reversible, indicating that this composite material has broad application prospects.

[0053] The time-sensitivity of Eu-MOF to MG was investigated using an excitation wavelength of 344 nm. Experimental results showed that complete quenching occurred after 10 seconds, indicating that Eu-MOF possesses fast response performance. Figure 8 (a) It is generally accepted in academia that the fluorescence sensing mechanism of lanthanide metal-organic frameworks (Ln-MOFs) is based on the antenna enhancement effect, and the process involves three steps: initial light absorption by the organic ligand, subsequent ligand-metal energy transfer (LMET), and Ln... 3+ The final luminescence of the ions. Ln 3+ The emission energy mainly originates from photoexcited organic ligands; therefore, the spectral characteristics of the organic ligands and the efficiency of lanthanide organometallic compounds (LMETs) significantly influence the emission energy of Ln. 3+ The emission intensity of ions is crucial. To further investigate the quenching sensing mechanism behind the fluorescence response of Eu-MOF to MG, PXRD analysis was performed on Eu-MOF samples after five MG sensing cycles. The results showed that the PXRD patterns were highly consistent with those obtained before sensing. Figure 9 (a)). These test results demonstrate the excellent structural stability of Eu-MOF and further reveal that framework collapse is not the mechanism of Eu-MOF fluorescence quenching. A comparison of FTIR spectra before and after the addition of MG showed no significant changes ( Figure 9(b) indicates that no coordination reaction or new chemical bond formation occurred between Eu-MOFs, and the behavior of MG during the reaction process. Subsequent analysis of the UV absorption spectrum of MG showed that MG has a strong absorption peak in the wavelength range of 375-475 nm, which highly overlaps with the excitation wavelength range of Eu-MOFs. This suggests the possible existence of a competitive absorption mechanism.

[0054] Experiment Example 4: Device Manufacturing Hybrid sensing film: Rare earth metal-organic frameworks (Ln-MOFs) and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) were mixed in DMF to obtain a uniform dispersion. The dispersion was coated onto a glass substrate, and after cooling, a fluorescent film was obtained. The above steps were repeated to add analytes to lanthanum metal-organic frameworks (LnMOFs) to prepare fluorescent films; simultaneously, by adding a recognition agent and following the above steps, a recognized fluorescent film was prepared. (The last sentence appears to be a repetition of the previous one and can be omitted.) Figure 10 (b) and (d)). Compared with the former, no significant difference was observed under sunlight, but a strong quenching phenomenon was observed under ultraviolet radiation. Figure 10 (a) and (c) LED light beads: After grinding the crystals, they were uniformly mixed with nail polish and then coated onto the surface of the LED lamp to prepare a lanthanum metal-organic framework (Ln-MOF) coated LED lamp. Significant changes before and after analyte addition were clearly visible under natural light and 365 nm ultraviolet light. The recognition performance of the LED lamp was similar to that of the Tb / Eu@PMMA hybrid sensing film. Figure 10 (e) and (f)).

[0055] A mixture of Ln-MOFs with ethanol and ethylene glycol was prepared. Utilizing the volatility of ethanol and the viscosity of ethylene glycol, an Ln-MOF ink with excellent volatility and viscosity was prepared. The prepared ink was then filled into a hollow pen refill. When writing with the custom-made MOF ink pen, it was invisible in sunlight but emitted characteristic lanthanide ion luminescence under 365 nm ultraviolet light. Figure 11 These findings suggest that MOF ink pens have potential applications in concealing anti-counterfeiting marks and encrypting information.
