Abstract

The integration of terpyridyl and tricarboxylate functionality in a novel ligand allows concerted 3:1 stoichiometric assembly of size-and charge-complementary Zn²⁺/Tb³⁺ ions into a water-stable 3D luminescent framework (CTGU-8) capable of highly selective, sensitive, and recyclable of nitrofurans.
