Post-synthetic modification of luminescent metal-organic frameworks using schiff base complexes for biological and chemical sensing

Luminescent metal–organic frameworks (LMOFs) are porous crystalline materials consisting of metal clusters and organic linkers. Although LMOFs belong to a subcategory of MOFs, they are superior to typical MOFs in many ways (e.g., in terms of photostability, sensing ability, ease of use, interactions with target analytes, and rapid detection mechanisms). Schiff bases with various desired functionalities can be incorporated into the pore cages of...
