The detection of volatile amines has attracted great attention due to their high toxicity and widespread existence. Herein, we report a new example of a metal-organic framework (Co-MOF- 1 ) for the discriminative detection of alkylamines. Co-MOF- 1 that was assembled by Co( ii ), N 3 − and viologen-...
