Rational synthesis of an exceptionally stable Zn(II) metal-organic framework for the highly selective and sensitive detection of picric acid

Chem Commun (Camb). 2016 Apr 28;52(33):5734-7. doi: 10.1039/c6cc01597b.

Abstract

Based on an organic ligand involving both carboxylate and tetrazole groups, a chemically stable Zn(II) metal-organic framework has been rationally synthesized and behaves as a fluorescence chemosensor for the highly selective and sensitive detection of picric acid, an extremely hazardous and strong explosive.
