A 3D porous coordination polymer transformed from a 1D nonporous coordination polymer for selectively sensing of diiodomethane.

Abstract By adding K+, one-dimensional (1D) chain structure (1) can be converted into three-dimensional (3D) porous structure (BIPT-2). Two coordination polymers were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, powder X-ray diffraction, Thermogravimetric analyses, IR spectroscopy and fluorescence spectroscopy. Owing to its porosity, BIPT-2 shows excellent selectivity and sensitivity to diiodomethane than 1 through a strong fluorescence quenching.
