In order to achieve convenient and efficient detection of picric acid in a water environment, based on function-oriented strategy, we combine luminescence performance with recognition performance, taking into account the application conditions.
To design an effective fluorescence probe for sensing nitroaromatic compounds and metal ions, a novel two-dimensional coordination polymer, {Zn2(NO3)2(4,4′-bpy)2(TBA)}, was synthesized via a hydrothermal method.
