Abstract

A robust hafnium-based metal organic framework, Hf-PBTA, with sensitive and self-calibrating dual-emissive fluorescence response towards sulfite and sulfonic derivatives, including antibiotic sulfamethazine, has been developed, which shows fast detection of sulfite ions at a concentration as low as 76 ppb. The opposite response tendency from two radiative pathways towards aromatic sulfonic molecules and sulfite anions stems from the synergistic effect of the pyridine protonation effect, π–π stacking interaction and intramolecular twist motion.
