A cost-effective and innovative detector for iron ions.

ABSTRACT: Severe environmental contamination can result from high concentrations of iron ions, which can have a detrimental impact on human health and well-being. Consequently, it is imperative to develop novel materials that can address environmental issues. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) possess unique properties that render them efficient fluorescent probes for the rapid and precise detection of these pollutants. A diverse array of MOF probes have been developed to detect iron ions. Nevertheless, their practical application is significantly impeded by the high production cost, which is a critical factor. This raises the question: why not implement a cost-effective, sensitive detector instead? Our research group has developed a novel MOF material, [Zn₂(bpy)(APA)₂(H₂
