MOFs@MOFs (metal-organic frameworks, MOFs) possess precise customized functionalities and predesigned structures that enable the implementation of structure and property regulation for specific functions in comparison to traditional single MOFs. However, the synthesis and fluorescence properties of multilayer MOFs@MOFs are still worth improving. Herein, a fluorescent raspberry-shaped MOF@MOF was constructed via optimized seed-mediated synthesis by tuning the reaction time, reaction mode, and reaction concentration, involving the initial synthesis of the UiO-66-NH2 core and then the coating of the UiO-67-bpy shell. The raspberry-shaped UiO-66@67-bpy showed stable fluorescence and desirable sensing selectivity for the Hg2+ ion under the interference of other ions; meanwhile, the raspberry-shaped UiO-66@67-bpy indicated amplified sensing performance than pure UiO-66-NH2, mechanically mixed UiO-66-NH2 + UiO-67-bpy, and UiO-66@UiO-67 counterpart due to the accumulation effect of outer UiO-67-bpy toward Hg2+. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations including adsorption energy calculations and electronic density difference analysis further showed that the enhanced fluorescence quenching was possibly attributed to the outer UiO-67-bpy enrichment promoting the charge transfer between Hg2+ and the ligands of fluorescent UiO-66@67-bpy. The synergistic effect of MOFs@MOFs unlocks more possibilities for the construction of enhanced sensors and other applications.
