Abstract

Herein we report two 2D layered metal-organic rotaxane frameworks (MORFs), WUST-1 and WUST-2, constituted by a ternary host-guest complex based on cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8]) and an (E)-1-methyl-4-[4-(pyridin-4-yl)styryl] pyridinium (G1) ligand, and different metal ions and auxiliary linkers. Both MORFs are stable in water and highly fluorescence emissive, and can selectively sense nitrofurazone with low detection limits.
