Introduction Lanthanide metal-organic frameworks (Ln-MOFs), self-assembled from polydentate linkers and inorganic nodes of lanthanide ions through coordination bonds, are crystalline organic/inorganic hybrid materials with characteristic properties of photoluminescence.1-5 In Ln-MOFs, multi-emitting properties could be readily obtained by tuning the energy transfer from ligand to lanthanide ions, thereby providing a sensitive platform in terms of luminescent color and intensity.6-11 Moreover, the sensitivity to coordinate environment leads to the luminescent mutability of Ln-MOFs. Taking advantage of this phenomena, Ln-MOFs could serve as sensors toward circumstance factors such as temperature, pH value, solvent effect, which have

is

rarely settled and utilized. Porosity is a defining characteristic of Ln-MOFs, and helpful to encapsulate excellent fluorophores guests, especially dye molecules with excitation-wavelength-independent performance, to construct co-luminescent composite through ion-exchange process and/or spatial confining effect.18-22 Thus, dual- even multi-emitting dye@Ln-MOF composites could be obtained, not only affording a novel path to design luminescent material independent on excitation wavelength, but also providing an opportunity to obtain durable and sensitive sensors through photon-induced electron transfer and inner filter effect.23-25 Considering the alternation of luminescent color and intensity, multiplexed detection could be readily realized. Up to now, several researches on multiplexed detection are reported. In 2017, a white-light-emitting lanthanide coordination complex was firstly prepared as a dual-selective sensor toward Ag+ and Mn2+ ions in water through

The colorless crystals of as-synthesized Tb-dcpcpt (1.6 mg) were immersed into 2 mL 10-3 mol∙L-1 (M) aqueous solution of RhB and kept standing for 24 hours at room temperature. After decanting the solution, the pink crystals obtained were washed with deionized water and dried in air. Luminescence Sensing Methodology 10.0 mg of RhB@Tb-dcpcpt sample was weighed, finely grounded, and then added to a cuvette containing 10 mL of deionized water under stirring. The fluorescence upon the excitation of 300–390 nm of RhB@Tb-dcpcpt suspension was measured in situ after the addition of freshly prepared analyte solutions. The mixture was stirred at a constant rate during experiment to maintain its homogeneity. All the experiment was performed in triplicate, and consistent results were reported.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Synthesis of RhB@Tb-dcpcpt Tb-dcpcpt is synthesized from Tb(NO3)3∙6H2O and H3dcpcpt in H2O and DMF mixed solution under solvothermal conditions at 160 oC for 72 hours (Figure 1a and 1b).46 In addition to semblable lattice parameter, the as-prepared crystal shows an identical PXRD pattern to that simulated from the single crystal structure reported previously (Figure 1c and Table S1). Based on the previous report, Tb-dcpcpt possesses 1D open channel with the size of 15.34×12.13 Å2 and the porosity is 49.8%.46 N2 sorption isotherm confirms the existence of porous structure of as-synthesized Tb-dcpcpt, and its BET surface area is up to 801 m2∙g-1 (Figure 1d).

temperature of Tb-dcpcpt is about 500 oC (Figure S2). According to these aforementioned features, Tb-dcpcpt is an anionic Ln-MOF with porous structure and good stability, which encourages us to employ it as a host to encapsulate cationic dye. RhB is an outstanding cationic fluorophore for chem/bio-sensing applications.49-52 However, its widespread application is limited by the aggregation-induced quenching and photo-induced degradation. Herein, an encapsulating strategy is utilized by capturing and restraining the RhB molecule into the porous framework of Tb-dcpcpt (Figure 1a). After encapsulation, the crystal color under day light obviously turns from transparent to pink; the luminescent color under UV lamp turns from green to yellow (Figure 1b). PXRD patterns before and after trapping RhB illustrate the identical pattern, meaning that the framework remains intact during encapsulation (Figure 1c). Sharp decrease of absorbed quantity in N2 sorption isotherm further confirms the introduction of RhB (Figure 1d). Several factors prompt the successful encapsulation. On one hand, the kinetic size of RhB (15.9×11.8×5.6

Å3) rivals with the

scale of Tb-dcpcpt

(15.34×12.13 Å2), thereby providing the potential to trap RhB into the pores. On the other hand, the anionic Tb-dcpcpt framework could attract the RhB cation, resulting in the ion-exchange process. Both of the fast encapsulation (1 day) without ultrasonic assist and low

RhB concentration of immerging solution (10-3 M) reveal the facility to trap RhB into Tb-dcpcpt. FT-IR spectra display obvious RhB peaks, accounting for the triumph of ion-exchange process, and indirectly stating that RhB is not degraded in the process of encapsulation (Figure S1). Meanwhile, the ion-exchange process could be monitored by UV-vis spectroscopy. The molar ratio of RhB versus Tb-dcpcpt is determined as about one seventh (0.15 μmol:1.00 μmol). In other words, the exchange percentage of [Me2NH2]+ is 15 %. TG data and elementary analysis further confirm the guest percentage in RhB@Tb-dcpcpt (Figure S2 and Table S2). Based on the concentrations of RhB in the solution before and after the encapsulation of Tb-dcpcpt via UV-vis test, we estimate the RhB exchange percentage is 17.3 %, very similar to the result of UV-vis. Water stability of RhB@Tb-dcpcpt Given that the as-synthesized composite will detect antibiotics in aqueous solution, the stability of the fresh sample in water medium are checked. The finely ground sample of RhB@Tb-dcpcpt is suspended into water by stirring 30 minutes. PXRD patterns of RhB@Tb-dcpcpt filtered from suspension perform the same profile with the initial sample,

structural stability in 0.1 M phosphate buffer saline (PBS) solution (Figure S3). These aforementioned results indicate the excellent stability of RhB@Tb-dcpcpt in water medium, revealing that nanoporous channels of Tb-dcpcpt could generate the confining effect against the dissociation of RhB aggregation, and largely enhancing the stability of composites. The results also confirm that RhB@Tb-dcpcpt facilitates the application in chem-/bio-sensing in aqueous solution. Photoluminescence of Tb-dcpcpt and RhB@Tb-dcpcpt H3dcpcpt ligand performs little emission upon excitation at 300– 320 nm and emits gradually increasing blue-green light at 400–650 nm in the excitation of 320–390 nm (Figure S4). For Tb-dcpcpt, green-light emission in the whole excitation range of 300–390 nm is realized according to CIEx-y chromaticity diagram of Tb-dcpcpt (Figure S5). As shown in Figure 2a, Tb-dcpcpt displays the sharp characteristic peaks of the Tb3+ ion at 489, 545, 581 and 619 nm corresponding to the

respectively. The presence of Tb3+ emission and the absence of emission from H 3 dcpcpt ligand implies that antenna effect takes place. According to the Dexter theory, the luminescent property in luminescent lanthanide complex is significantly determined by the energy transfer from ligand triplet state to lanthanide receiving energy level.53 In other words, energy migration occurs upon ligand absorption, followed by intersystem crossing and antenna energy

Based on this, the singlet and triplet energy levels of H3dcpcpt is calculated as 30800 cm -1 and 23700 cm -1 , respectively. 54 The 7100 cm -1 energy difference states the effectiveness of intersystem crossing process according to Reinhoudt’s empirical rule.55 In addition, according to the Latva’s empirical rule, 2500–4500 cm-1 are the most optimal energy d

solid-state

RhB@Tb-dcpcpt weakens Tb3+ emission centered at 545 nm and emerges broad emission around 630 nm corresponding to RhB fluorescence (Figure 2b).57 The luminescent mechanism of RhB@Tb-dcpcpt is investigated. Given that the Tb-dcpcpt framework and RhB are ionic, one possible mechanism can be proposed to be the photo-induced electron transfer: the electrons from the electron-rich framework are transferred to the electro-deficient RhB molecules. The energy levels are calculated by density functional theory (DFT), accordingly, for Tb-dcpcpt and RhB. Although the lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals (LUMO) of Tb-dcpcpt is slightly lower than that of RhB, excited high-energy level of Tb-dcpcpt is higher than LUMO of RhB, resulting in the photo-induced high-energy electron transfer (Scheme S1).58 Another possible mechanism is fluorescence resonance energy transfer. UV-vis absorbance of RhB shows a main band around 545 nm which holds a spectral overlap to the emission band of Tb-dcpcpt, meaning that there is an efficient fluorescence resonance energy transfer from the framework to RhB (Figure 2d).59,60 As a result, the coexistence of fluorescence resonance energy transfer and photo-induced high-energy electron transfer makes RhB@Tb-dcpcpt show co-luminescence of Tb-dcpcpt and RhB. Remarkably and interestingly, luminescent color maintains stable

luminescent color for a lanthanide-based sensor in water medium. It also illustrates that the Tb-dcpcpt framework displays good and stable sensitizing ability toward RhB dye, resulting from the short distance between Tb3+ ions and RhB molecules through encapsulation process.61 In a control experiment, Tb-dcpcpt and RhB is simply mixed with a ratio of 1.00 μmol:0.15 μmol. The photoluminescent spectra display that it keeps the same profile as that of Tb-dcpcpt in 400–600 nm and weak emission of RhB around 630 nm (Figure S6). Its FRET efficiency of 4.6% is much lower than that of RhB@Tb-dcpcpt (22.4%) (Table S3).62 Most importantly, its luminescent-color changes between green and yellow, without excitation-wavelength-independence stability. Water molecule often acts as luminescence quenching reagent for the luminescent lanthanide complexes. However, water medium is necessary for luminescent sensing toward pollutants existing in drinking water or

In

this work, the

luminescent behavior of RhB@Tb-dcpcpt existing in aqueous solution is examined. In water medium, the emission intensity and quantum yield are slightly decreased (Figure S7 and Table S4). The emission around 440 nm corresponding to H3dcpcpt ligand is emerged. All of these phenomena

intra-molecular energy transfer from H3dcpcpt to Tb3+ ion. By comparison, Tb-dcpcpt without RhB encapsulation in aqueous solution presents the same pattern of luminescent behavior (Figure S8). The slight decrease on luminescent intensity of Tb-dcpcpt framework in water medium suggests excellent luminescent stability against water and overcomes most of luminescent Tb-based complexes in previous reports.63 For RhB@Tb-dcpcpt in water, the emission of RhB shifts from 630 nm in solid state to 580 nm in aqueous solution, deriving from the concentration effect of RhB and the high dispersion of RhB in Tb-dcpcpt framework (Figure S7).64,65 This phenomenon reveals that the problem of aggregation-induced quenching for RhB molecules is resolved by encapsulation process. Interestingly, RhB@Tb-dcpcpt in aqueous solution remains stable yellow-light emission in the whole range

of 300–390nm

(Figure

As our best

excitation-wavelength-independence luminescence in water medium is the first report for lanthanide-based complexes, polymers and composites. Detection of Nitrofurans Antibiotics In order to explore the sensibility of the sensor (RhB@Tb-dcpcpt) toward analytes (antibiotics) in water medium, aqueous solutions containing 0.01 M concentrations of various antibiotics were added into the 1 g/L well-dispersed suspension of RhB@Tb-dcpcpt in water. Fourteen commonly-used antibiotics in six classes were checked,

According to Figure 3a, nitrofuran antibiotics (NZF and NFT) present obvious luminescent quenching to the sensor, while others exhibit low even little quenching effect. The alternation of excitation wavelength has little influence on the value of quenching efficiencies by monitoring the luminescent intensity at 545 nm (Figure 3b). In order to assess the sensing sensitivity of RhB@Tb-dcpcpt toward NZF and NFT, quantitative luminescent titration experiments are carried out.

concentration increased from 0 mM to 0.10 mM, featuring heavy dependence on the concentration of the nitrofuran antibiotics. The luminescent quenching efficiency can be quantitatively expressed by using the Stern-Volmer (SV) equation: I0/I = 1+KSV×[C], where KSV is the quenching constant (M-1), [C] is the molar concentration of the analyte (M), I0 and I are the luminescence intensities at certain wavelength in the absence and presence of the analyte, respectively. Based on the KSV values, the limitation of detection (LOD) of RhB@Tb-dcpcpt toward NZF and NFT could be

calculated according to the formula of 3σ/KSV, where σ is the standard deviation for three repeated luminescent measurement. By monitoring luminescent intensities at 491, 545 and 483 nm, the values of KSV, R2 and LOD are determined and listed in Table 1. A detailed SV analysis further reveals that there exists near linear correlations between the quenching efficiency and the amount of nitrofuran antibiotics, indicating that either static or dynamic mechanism exists in the quenching process (Figure 3c, 3d, S9 and S10). By monitoring 545 nm, the LOD toward NZF and NFT are as low as 0.502 μM (99 ppb) and 0.448 μM (106 ppb), respectively. According to Table 2, the sensitivity in this work are far superior to most of reported fluorescence probes for NZF and NFT and meets the standard of World Health Organization (WHO) and occupational safety and health administration (OSHA) for the maximum allowable level of antibiotics in drinking water.66 It is also much higher than that of Tb-dcpcpt (32.5 ppm for NZF and 42.1 ppm for NFT, Figure S11 and S12). The excellent sensitivity toward NZF and NFT demonstrates that RhB@Tb-dcpcpt holds high quenching efficiencies toward nitrofurans, but poor toward other categories of antibiotics. Based on this, we further checked the detection selectivity for nitrofurans in the presence of other antibiotics. In a control experiment, a 1 mM aqueous solution of each antibiotic (PCL, ACL, CFX, CFD, GTM, KNM, ROX, AZM, CPFX, NFX, VCC, LCC) was initially added into the 1g/L RhB@Tb-dcpcpt

aqueous suspension. Then NZF or NFT were added piece by piece. The luminescence intensity of RhB@Tb-dcpcpt shows slight changes in the presence of excess other antibiotics (Figure 3e and 3f). Upon introducing nitrofurans into the mixture of the RhB@Tb-dcpcpt and other antibiotics, the luminescence was significantly quenched, convincing the high quenching selectivity of RhB@Tb-dcpcpt toward nitrofurans. To further elucidate the selectivity of this composite, number of interfering analytes (serine, threonine, aspartic acid, ascorbic acid, glucose and GSH) are each added to the system, which shows no obvious changes in the luminescence of the sensor (Figure S13). Additionally, we find that RhB@Tb-dcpcpt can be regenerated and reused for a significant number of cycles by centrifugation of the suspension after use and washing several times with water, implying the good recyclability of luminescence detection toward nitrofurans (Figure S14). Detection of Quinolone Antibiotics Up to now, myriad luminescent materials have shown excellent performance of sensitivity based on their turn-on/-off process.9-17 However, most of them focus on luminescence intensity, not on luminescence color. Remarkably, RhB@Tb-dcpcpt presents obvious luminescence-color-changing process from yellow to blue after adding quinolones such as CPFX and NFX, while other antibiotics remain yellow-light

nitrofurans, quantitative titration experiments of RhB@Tb-dcpcpt toward CPFX and NFX are performed. According to the Figure 4b–4d, the luminescent color of the samples obviously turns from yellow to white, then to blue. With the increase of CPFX and NFX concentration, the intensities of the Tb3+ and RhB components decrease rapidly, but the ligand component remains for NFX and even increases for CPFX (Figure 4b and 4d). Therefore, the blue-light emission gradually dominates the emission with continuous addition of CPFX and NFX, which results in luminescence-color-changing process from yellow to white to blue. According to Figure 4f, the luminescent color of the samples turns to white when the CPFX or NFX concentration of 4 mM and to blue when 7 mM, which is a relatively low visual LOD. In addition, the plots of relative intensities (I441/I583) versus the concentration of quinolone antibiotics in Figure S15 and S16 reveal good linear relationship (R2=0.99878 for CPFX and 0.99306 for NFX). The LODs are estimated to be 0.21 μM (69 ppb) and 0.17 μM (53 ppb) for CPFX and NFX, respectively. The results suggest that RhB@Tb-dcpcpt has low LODs toward CPFX and NFX, even lower than the threshold limit suggested by the WHO and OSHA.66 Interestingly, the Tb-dcpcpt framework possesses little sensitivity toward NFX and CPFX (Figure S17 and S18).

luminescence sensing Sensing mechanism toward antibiotics Changes on structure, charge and energy transfer are three significant factors causing luminescent sensing behavior. Based on this, the underlying mechanism of the RhB@Tb-dcpcpt (sensor) in response to the presence of nitrofuran and quinolone antibiotics (analytes) in water is systematically explored. For structural analysis, it is characterized that the filtered powder and filtrate prepared from the RhB@Tb-dcpcpt aqueous suspensions in the absence and presence of analytes. The powder presents identical PXRD patterns with the as-synthesized RhB@Tb-dcpcpt, meaning that the framework of Tb-dcpcpt does not collapse (Figure S21). The analytes are not absorbed, encapsulated or degraded by the sensor in that the filtrate possesses nearly same UV-vis absorption, photophysical properties and liquid chromatogram.

Through the encapsulation of RhB, the composite system enhances the electron transfer ability, helpful for luminescent quenching toward conjugate compounds such as antibiotics.62 Given this, one possible

toward

and

antibiotics can be proposed to be the photo-induced electron transfer; that is, the photo-induced excited electrons could be transferred from the sensor to the LUMO of the analytes, not to the ground state of the sensor. The lower the LUMO energy of the analytes, the easier the electrons are transferred. Accordingly, LUMOs and HOMOs of fourteen antibiotic analytes are all calculated by DFT, as shown in Figure 5a. NZF and NFT have lowest LUMO energy level, which explains the reason of luminescent quenching. For other antibiotics with lower quenching efficiency, however, the order of observed quenching efficiency is not fully in accordance with the LUMO energy, indicating that photo-induced electron transfer is not the only mechanism for the luminescence sensing mechanism in this system.

Another possible mechanism is energy allocation and transfer, including FRET and inner filter effect. The UV-vis absorption of all the antibiotics analytes have little spectral overlap with the emission of RhB@Tb-dcpcpt sensor, implying the inexistence of FRET (Figure 6b). In addition, inner filter effect plays central role on the sensitivity of RhB@Tb-dcpcpt toward nitrofuran and quinolone antibiotics. The peak-fitting analysis for RhB@Tb-dcpcpt after sensing

reveals

that

bathochromic shift with the increase of CPFX and NFX (Figure S22 and Table S5–S7). NZF, NFT, NFX and CPFX possess absorption at 300–390 nm in the order of NZF≈NFT>NFX>CPFX, which is in accordance of the order of quenching efficiency (Figure 5b). After absorption, NFX and CPFX could emit blue light, but NZF and NFT have no obvious emission in visible-light region, explaining that the luminescent quenching process toward nitrofurans and luminescent-color-changing process toward quinolones. (Figure S23).70 CONCLUSIONS Fabrication of RhB@Tb-dcpcpt demonstrates that cationic RhB could be introduced successfully into the channels of anionic Tb-dcpcpt framework. The composite RhB@Tb-dcpcpt presents significant chemical stability and excitation-wavelength-independent yellow luminescence in water medium. Photophysical analysis supports that RhB@Tb-dcpcpt is an excellent bifunctional sensor able to detect nitrofuran
