Two-dimensional viologen-based lanthanide coordination polymers as multi-stimuli responsive materials to light and amines with a fluorescence response

Chem Commun (Camb). 2024 Oct 22;60(85):12413-12416. doi: 10.1039/d4cc04356a.

Abstract

Integrating multi-stimuli response properties in one molecule is challenging. This study presents two 2D polymers, [(Bpydp)Ln(H2O)(BDC)]·NO3·2H2O (Ln = Eu(1), Tb(2)), exhibiting rapid photo-responsiveness and the ability to detect specific small-molecule amines. In particular, complex 1 combines the functions of inkless printing, amine detection, anti-counterfeiting, and fluorescence recognition.
