Multi-component sol–gel derived alumina and titania hybrid materials are assembled by the functionalization of both lanthanide complexes and a special metal organic framework compound: Al-MIL-53-COOH through coordination bonds. Multi-color luminescence and white colored light can be tuned by controlling the different units in the hybrid system.
A 3D metal–organic framework {[Cd(5-Brp)(dpa)]·0.5DMF·H2O}n (1) was successfully synthesized and characterized, which markedly recognized iron ions under the induction of an amino group.
A prepared anionic HPU-14, which was employed as a platform for loading green-emitting Tb3+ and red-emitting Eu3+ into nanotube channels of the blue-emitting MOF via an ion-exchange process, is suitable for white light-emitting LED devices and enables the sensitive colorimetric reversible detection of gaseous HCl.
