Abstract
Using aggregation-induced emission luminous (AIEgens) containing dynamic molecular rotor structures as linkers to construct flexible smart luminescent metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) has become a transformative approach to constructing artificial intelligence color-changing materials. Herein, 4',4″,4'″,4″″-(ethene-1,1,2,2-tetrayl)tetrabiphenyl-4-carboxylic acid (HTPPE) is selected as a linker, and octahedral ZrO(OH)(HO) cluster are used as secondary building unit (SBU) to construct the first smart luminescent MOF (Zr-TPE-MOF) that can be driven by CHCl or CHCOOH vapor for respiration. It is worth noting that Zr-TPE-MOF can absorb trace amounts of CHCl or CHCOOH vapor into the pores through respiration and shows a blue shift of the emission wavelength up to 479 nm and an increase of emission intensity by nearly three times. In addition, the thermochromic behavior of Zr-TPE-MOF is not obvious in the temperature range of 80-350 K, but it has obvious thermofluorochromics behavior in the temperature range of 350-470 K. Zr-TPE-MOF showed highly sensitive and visualized smart photoresponse to the highly toxic CrO , with a detection limit as low as 7.49 µm. Benefiting from the porous framework structure and organic-inorganic hybrid characteristics of Zr-TPE-MOF, it has excellent ROS generation ability and has excellent application prospects in photodynamic sterilization and rapid degradation of colored dyes.
