Zinc(II)-based coordination polymer encapsulated Tb3+ as a multi-responsive luminescent sensor for Ru3+, Fe3+, CrO42−, Cr2O72− and MnO4−

2020 / RSC Advances

A zinc(II)-based coordination polymer (CP), namely [Zn(modbc)2]n (Zn-CP) (modbc = 2-methyl-6-oxygen-1,6-dihydro-3,4′-bipyridine-5-carbonitrile), has been synthesized and characterized. Single-crystal structural determination reveals that… Continue reading Zinc(II)-based coordination polymer encapsulated Tb3+ as a multi-responsive luminescent sensor for Ru3+, Fe3+, CrO42−, Cr2O72− and MnO4−
