Abstract (EN): Luminescent metal-organic frameworks (LMOFs) are promising materials for lighting and sensing applications. Herein, exposure of the highly luminescent Zn-2(bpdc)(2)(bpee) MOF (H(2)bpdc = 4,4'-biphenyldicarboxylic acid and bpee = 1,2-bipyridylethene) to subppm amine contents turns on a new absorption band unambiguously ascribed to free bpee molecules concomitant with the gradual appearance of a new photoluminescence band at shorter wavelengths. These findings combined with Fourier-transform infrared spectra, powder X-ray diffraction and thermogravimetric analysis of exposed LMOF powders confirm that bpee ligands are exchanged by amines and released inside the LMOF, triggering absorption and luminescence features which can be exploited for highly sensitive amine recognition. This principle was demonstrated in mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) prepared by a simple solvent-free method consisting of mixing Zn-2(bpdc)(2)(bpee) with dimethylvinyl-terminated dimethylsiloxane and dimethylhydrogen siloxane. This method enabled the production of free-standing, permeable, and highly transparent MMMs which showed enormous potential and sensitivity to the detection of amines in gas phase and aqueous medium.
