Fluorene-based Cu(II)-MOF: a visual colorimetric anion sensor and separator based on an anion-exchange approach

Chem Commun (Camb). 2012 Mar 21;48(24):2946-8. doi: 10.1039/c2cc16800f. Epub 2011 Dec 21.

Abstract

A new 2D Cu(II)-MOF generated from a fluorene-based ligand and Cu(NO(3))(2) was reported. It is an interesting visual colorimetric anion sensor. In addition, it can completely separate Cl(-)/Br(-), Br(-)/I(-) and SCN(-)/N(3)(-) anions under ambient conditions.
