Covalent organic frameworks-based materials for antibiotics fluorescence detection

Antibiotics play a vital role in safeguarding people's health since most bacterial infection can be efficiently controlled and cured by treating with suitable antibiotics. However, excessive use of antibiotics in husbandry and aquaculture leaded to the pollution of eco-environment. Thus, it is important to develop simple facile methods and effective functional materials for quick on-site analysis of antibiotics. Covalent organic frameworks (COFs), as a kind of porous crystalline covalent bond linked polymers, have demonstrated its power in multiple fields. Herein, we will discuss COFs-based materials utilized as antibiotics sensors with fluorescence method. For each sensor, we will mainly discuss the mechanism for antibiotics recognition, the preparation, characterization and fluorescence sensing performance of specific antibiotics. The mechanism to illustrate the interaction between sensors and antibiotics analytes would also be stressed. [Display omitted]
