To evaluate the recyclability of UPC-17 on the detection of
metal ions and NACs, cyclic tests were carried out.
Unfortunately, the recyclability of UPC-17 is poor, which
may derive from the fact that the metal ions have strong
interactions with the wall of the framework such as the
carboxylate oxygen atoms and NACs have strong π···π
interactions with the central anthracene ring of the ligand.
These interactions make it difficult to release the metal ions and
NACs from the channel of the framework.39−41

In conclusion, a new 3D barium−organic framework (UPC-17)
based on a fluorescent ligand was synthesized and charac-
terized. UPC-17 shows unprecedented solvent-dependent
sensitivities in the detection of metal ions such as Fe3+ and
Al3+ and NACs such as 4-NP. More interestingly, the detection
of the Fe3+ ion can be achieved in MeOH/acetone emulsion
through fluorescence quenching (turn-off) and in THF
emulsion through fluorescence enhancement (turn-on) with
different sensitivities, which have never been reported
previously. Furthermore, the visible bright-yellow emission
gradually changes to yellow-green upon the addition of Fe3+ or
Al3+ ions to the THF emulsion of UPC-17, which is easy to
distinguish by the naked eye. A detailed study of the effect of
the solvent on the detection of the analytes is needed and is
currently underway in our laboratory.
