In situ tetrazole ligand synthesis leading to a microporous cadmium–organic framework for selective ion sensing

In situ tetrazole ligand synthesis leads to a luminescent microporous cadmium-organic framework Cd (mu2-Cl) (mu4-5MT) n (5MT = 5-methyl-1H-tetrazole) that exhibits a high-sensitivity sensing function with respect to nitrite in both DMF and water.
