A Zn( ii ) based luminescent metal organic framework is synthesized, which acts as a dual functional fluorescent sensor to selectively detect picric acid and palladium( ii ). A new luminescent metal-organic framework has been synthesized and explored as a dual functional fluorescent sensor to detect picric acid and Pd 2+ .
