A luminescent nanoscale metal-organic framework with controllable morphologies for spore detection

Chem Commun (Camb). 2012 Jul 28;48(59):7377-9. doi: 10.1039/c2cc32346j. Epub 2012 May 24.

Abstract

A nanoscale MOF material NMOF 1 with controllable morphologies is realized whose morphology control has been simulated based on the BFDH method. The targeted NMOF 1 exhibits highly sensitive, selective and instant "turn-on" sensing of bacterial endospores.
