A series of CuX (X = Br, I) modules bearing Ba-MOFs: Structures, fluorescence and sensing properties

Key Points

• The study aims to explore the structural and functional properties of CuX modules within barium metal-organic frameworks.
• Synthesis of CuX modules (X = Br, I) with barium ions
• Characterization of structural features and coordination modes
• Assessment of fluorescence and sensing properties
• CuX modules exhibit distinct fluorescence characteristics depending on halogen type
• Barium-MOFs demonstrate enhanced sensing capabilities for specific analytes
• A strong correlation exists between structural features and fluorescence intensity
