Abstract

For the rapid detection of ascorbic acid (AA) and Cr(VI), three novel 2D coordination polymers (CP) with different metal centers [Co(L)(5-NIPA)(H2O)]·H2O (1), [Ni(L)(5-NIPA)(H2O)]·H2O (2) and [Cu(L)(5-NIPA)]·H2O (3) were synthesized by the traditionally hydrothermal method (L = N,N′-bis(pyridine-3-ylmethyl)-4-(4-carboxybenzyl)oxybenzamide, 5-NIPA = 5-nitroisophthalic acid). CPs 1 and 2 are isomorphic 2D regular (4,4)-connected networks, and CP 3 has a twisted 2D lamellar structure. All of the above complexes present highly sensitive and selective electrocatalytic sensing performances for AA and Cr(VI). The detection limits of the three complexes were 0.320, 3.360 and 3.600 μM for AA, and 0.2349, 0.9928 and 3.6054 μM for Cr(VI), respectively.
