Abstract
- The development and construction of fluorescent sensors with high sensitivity for nitroaromatics explosives detection is of great significance for national security and public environmental issue. Herein, the mechanism of photoinduced electron transfer (PET) was utilized to design a newly amino-functionalized luminescent Zr-based metal-organic framework (NU-1000-NH 2) for ultra-sensitive fluorescent detection of nitroaromatic explosives, like 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene, 2,4-dinitrotoluene and 2-nitrotoluene. The amino constructed in cavities of NU-1000-NH 2 can be served as recognition site to capture and bind the nitroaromatic molecules. Thus the rational design of NU-1000-NH 2 has been proven an effective route to recognize the electron-deficient nitroaromatic explosives, causing fluorescence quenching of NU-1000-NH 2 due to the electron donor (–NH 2)–acceptor (-NO 2) interaction. Moreover, hydrogen-bonding effect of intermolecular N –H···O analyte between NU-1000-NH 2 and analytes was also found assisting for binding and recognizing of nitroaromatic explosives molecule. And the density functional theory (DFT) calculations were conducted to further investigate and quantitatively assess the molecule orbitals (MOs), interaction energies and electrostatic potential map, revealing the electron transfer process from conduction band (CB) of MOF to LUMO of nitro analytes and stronger interaction effect was obtained with more nitro groups of NEs. This study provided a feasible idea to design functionalized fluorescent MOFs for nitroaromatic explosives sensing based on PET and hydrogen-bonding effect. [Display omitted] • Fluorescence quenching mechanism of PET is successfully applied in the functionalized MOF design for fluorescent sensing. • DFT theoretical calculation is used to discuss molecule orbitals, hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interaction effect. • Interaction effect of host-guest hydrogen bonding could be evaluated by experiments and theoretical calculation. • Highly sensitive detection of Higher K sv and lower limits of detection (LODs) for multiple nitroaromatic explosives.
