Qing Liu, Lu Liu, Pei-Xin Li, Guo‐Cong Guo
Abstract
Photochromic open-framework compounds are of potential application in detection/sensors. The issue of improving the detection limits has received much attention. We synthesized a new open-framework Zn compound, namely, compound 1 ([Zn(MQ)(IPA)Cl]·5H2O) (MQ = N-methyl-4,4′-bipyridinium, IPA = m-phthalic acid), which showed a 1D channel structure by a cationic-π interaction. It is noteworthy that this compound is an effective detector for aniline though luminescence emission, which exhibited unprecedented detection limits in photochromic open-framework compounds.
