A luminescent cerium metal-organic framework for the turn-on sensing of ascorbic acid

Chem Commun (Camb). 2017 Oct 10;53(81):11221-11224. doi: 10.1039/c7cc05805e.

Abstract

We report a cerium metal-organic framework (ZJU-136-Ce) for the turn-on fluorescence sensing of AA. The fluorescence enhancement is attributed to the specific redox reaction between AA and Ce4+. The detection limit of AA reaches 7 nM, showing its potential for AA detection in the environmental industry and clinical medicine.
