Fluorescent Composite Hydrogels of Metal–Organic Frameworks and Functionalized Graphene Oxide

Abstract

GO MOFs! Azobenzoic acid functionalized graphene (A-GO) can act as a structure-directing template that influences hydrogel formation together with metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Zn(2+) MOFs of pyridine derivatives work as framework linkers between the A-GO sheets (MOF-A-GO, see figure). MOF-A-GO exhibits a strong fluorescence enhancement upon gel formation. In addition, MOF-A-GO selectively recognizes trinitrotoluene.
