Dimensional regulation of lanthanide metal-organic frameworks and their application in bacterial detection

Low-dimensional (LD) lanthanide metal-organic frameworks (Ln-MOFs) have attracted considerable attention in different fields due to their exceptional optical properties and numerous accessible active sites. Through the dimensional regulation effect of dipicolinic acid (DPA), a new LD Ln-MOF crystal is synthesized to monitor nitroreductase (NTR) activity in living bacteria. A novel low dimensional (LD) Ln-MOF crystal is synthesized through the dimensional regulation effect of dipicolinic acid (DPA) and used to monitor nitroreductase (NTR) activity in living bacteria.
