Abstract

Three phosphorescent Ir and Ru complexes containing dicarboxylate functional groups have been doped into the framework of Zr6O4(OH)4(bpdc)6 (UiO-67, bpdc = para-biphenyldicarboxylate) to yield stable metal–organic frameworks (MOFs 1–3) which are highly porous with BET surface areas of 2568, 2292, and 1277 m2 g?1, respectively. The 3MLCT phosphorescence of 1–3 can be effectively quenched by O2 to provide an efficient method for oxygen detection.
