| Summary: | Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) or porous coordination polymers (PCPs) are open, crystalline supramolecular coordination architectures with porous facets. These chemically tailorable framework materials are the subject of intense and expansive research, and are particularly relevant in the fields of sensory materials and device engineering. As the subfield of MOF-based sensing has developed, many diverse chemical functionalities have been carefully and rationally implanted into the coordination nanospace of MOF materials. MOFs with widely varied fluorometric sensing properties have been developed using the design principles of crystal engineering and structure-property correlations, resulting in a large and rapidly growing body of literature. This work has led to advancements in a number of crucial sensing domains, including biomolecules, environmental toxins, explosives, ionic species, and many others. Furthermore, new classes of MOF sensory materials utilizing advanced signal transduction by devices based on MOF photonic crystals and thin films have been developed. This comprehensive review summarizes the topical developments in the field of luminescent MOF and MOF-based photonic crystals/thin film sensory materials.
This review summarizes the diverse routes to derive sensing applications from suitably functionalized and crystal-engineered metal-organic framework (MOF) materials, either by fluorometric responses, or based on photonic crystal-based signal transduction. |

| Bibliography: | Nathan D. Rudd earned his BA in chemistry from Middlebury College prior to starting the PhD program in the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at Rutgers University in 2013. His current research in Dr Jing Li's research group is focused on the design, synthesis and application of luminescent metal-organic frameworks towards the sensing and/or removal of environmental contaminants. He is currently in his fourth year of the PhD program. Aamod V. Desai obtained his BSc in Chemistry from the University of Pune in the year of 2011, following which he joined the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) Pune, as an integrated PhD student. He has completed his Master's degree in Chemistry from IISER Pune in 2013, and is presently pursuing his doctoral research under the supervision of Dr Sujit K. Ghosh. His current research focus is principally revolving around the studies of nitrogen donor linker-based metal-organic frameworks, targeted at molecular recognition applications. Soumya Mukherjee received his PhD degree in Chemistry from the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research Pune (IISER Pune), under the supervision of Dr Sujit K. Ghosh. His PhD thesis work was associated with the energy economic separation-targeted exploration of diversely functionalized metal-organic materials, resulting in his dissertation "Functionalized Metal-organic Frameworks: Promising Porous Materials for Chemical Separation". As a Postdoctoral researcher under the supervision of Professor Michael Zaworotko, his current research endeavors are principally focused into the syntheses, and gas-sorption related properties of flexible metal-organic materials, since he has recently moved to the University of Limerick, Ireland. Jing Li is a Distinguished Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at Rutgers University. She received her PhD from Cornell University in 1990 under the guidance of Professor Roald Hoffmann. She joined the chemistry faculty at Rutgers University in 1991 as Assistant Professor. She was promoted to Associate Professor in 1996, to Full Professor in 1999, and to Distinguished Professor in 2006. She has published +300 research articles, book chapters, and invited reviews, and holds 11 issued and pending patents. She was recognized as "Highly Cited Researcher" by Thomson Reuters in both 2015 and 2016. William P. Lustig obtained his BS in chemistry from American University in 2010, joined the Jing Li Research Group in 2013, and is currently pursuing a PhD in chemistry under Professor Jing Li's guidance. His research is centered on the synthesis and development of new organic chromophore-based luminescent metal organic frameworks with applications as sensor and phosphor materials. He is especially interested in studying the luminescence mechanisms at play in these systems and using theoretical methods to aid in their rational design. Sujit K. Ghosh is an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry at Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER), Pune. He completed his PhD from IIT Kanpur in 2006 (Supervisor Prof. Parimal K. Bharadwaj), followed by post-doctoral research at Kyoto University, Japan as a JSPS and CREST fellow (Host: Prof. Susumu Kitagawa). He received the prestigious Newton International Fellowship (UK) in 2009, however, he joined IISER Pune at that juncture. He has >90 publications (including nine invited reviews and book chapters). He currently serves as an Editorial Board Member, of the multidisciplinary journal Scientific Reports.
