Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), a crystalline material, are a new type of inorganicorganic hybrid material. MOFs are of great interest to researchers in chemistry and material science due to their various chemical and physical properties, and features include their remarkable surface area, high porosity, flexibility, structural variety, flexibility, extreme porosity, a large surface area, augmented adsorption/desorption kinetics, biocompatibility and functional tunability. MOFs are multi-dimensional crystals and have extended net-like frameworks from molecular building units such as inorganic metal nodes and organic linkers. The structurally diverse MOFs have found applications in chemical sensing and several other fields, such as energy applications, biomedicine, and catalysis. Numerous researchers from other fields have been drawn to this topic by the intrinsic potential to absorb gas molecules, which has led to the applications of gas storage and heterogeneous catalysis. Because of their low framework density, open metal sites for interaction, adjustable pore size, fast response with high sensitivity and selectivity, and real-time monitoring, luminescent metalorganic frameworks, or LMOFs, have piqued the interest of a large scientific community as a promising candidate for sensor applications. A number of characteristics, including non-toxicity, biodegradability, and reasonably priced, varied functionality, are important factors in the use of MOFs in chemo- and biosensing. MOFs can be very promising candidates as selective and sensitive chemosensors for the detection of cations, anions, small molecules, gases and explosives. In this manuscript, we address recent research advances in the use of metal-organic-framework-based luminescent sensors for detecting some small molecules and various metal ions in aqueous biological and environmental samples. A wide range of materials may be reached in the emerging field of synthetic and material chemistry, thanks to the capacity to change the pore size and chemically functionalize its nature without changing its architecture.
