摘要
Hydrophobic ethyl, butyl or hexyl groups were introduced into the dicarboxylate ligand in the fluorescent porous coordination framework [Zn_2(fda)_2(bpy)](LMOF-202, H_2fda=9H-fluorene-2,7-dicarboxylic acid, bpy=4,4′-bipyridine) for improving water stability and tuning oxygen sensitivity. The long hexyl groups gave satisfactory water stability but its oxygen sensitivity is low(70.8% fluorescence quenched at 1 bar O_2(1 bar=105 Pa)). In contrast, the shorter side groups gave high oxygen sensitivity(93.9% fluorescence quenched at 1 bar O_2) and low water stability. The derivation of the Stern-Volmer curves of the O_2 luminescence quenching data from the linear form can be used for detecting trace impurities in the luminescent framework, being much more sensitive than conventional methods such as powder X-ray diffraction. Mixing the ethyl and hexyl groups in the solid-solution manner brought high oxygen sensitivity(96.4% fluorescence quenched at 1 bar O_2) and high water stability simultaneously in the same coordination framework.
