| Summary: | Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a unique class of crystalline solids comprised of metal cations (or metal clusters) and organic ligands that have shown promise for a wide variety of applications. Over the past 15 years, research and development of these materials have become one of the most intensely and extensively pursued areas. A very interesting and well-investigated topic is their optical emission properties and related applications. Several reviews have provided a comprehensive overview covering many aspects of the subject up to 2011. This review intends to provide an update of work published since then and focuses on the photoluminescence (PL) properties of MOFs and their possible utility in chemical and biological sensing and detection. The spectrum of this review includes the origin of luminescence in MOFs, the advantages of luminescent MOF (LMOF) based sensors, general strategies in designing sensory materials, and examples of various applications in sensing and detection.
This review provides an update on the photoluminescence properties of LMOFs and their utility in chemical sensing and explosive detection. |

| Bibliography: | Zhichao Hu was born and raised in Tianjin, China. He obtained his BS in chemistry from Nankai University prior to his arrival at Rutgers in 2008. He is currently pursuing a PhD in chemistry under the guidance of Prof. Jing Li. His primary interests are in the design, synthesis, and characterization of luminescent metal-organic frameworks and their application as phosphors and chemical sensors. He also uses Density Functional Theory computations to study the electronic properties of luminescent materials and analyte-sensor interactions from a theoretical perspective. Jing Li received her PhD degree from Cornell University in 1990 under the guidance of Professor Roald Hoffmann. After two years of postdoctoral work with Professor Frank DiSalvo (Cornell) she joined the chemistry faculty at Rutgers University in 1991 as Assistant Professor. She was promoted to Associate Professor in 1996, Full Professor in 1999, and Distinguished Professor in 2006. Her research is primarily on the development of functional materials that are both fundamentally important and potentially useful for clean and renewable energy applications. She published >250 publications. She currently serves as Associate Editor for Journal of Solid State Chemistry. Benjamin J. Deibert joined the Jing Li Research Group in 2011 as an undergraduate researcher, focusing on the catalytic and luminescent properties of metal-organic frameworks. Upon earning his BA in chemistry from Rutgers in 2012, he was accepted into the PhD program of the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology to continue his work in the Li Group. His current research is primarily on the synthesis and applications of metal-organic frameworks towards cleaner energy applications and environmental technologies. In 2013 he was awarded and is currently supported by the Rutgers Excellence Fellowship. ObjectType-Article-1 SourceType-Scholarly Journals-1 ObjectType-Feature-2 content type line 23 |
