Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are a unique class of crystalline solids comprised of
metal cations (or metal clusters) and organic ligands that have shown promise for a wide …

Although a fundamental understanding of the pathogenicity of most biothreat agents has
been elucidated and available treatments have increased substantially over the past …

The development of sensitive and prompt approaches for reliable determination of
dipicolinic acid (DPA) is of great importance for human health and public security. Herein …

The detection of the major biomarker of Bacillus anthracis, 2, 6-dipicolinic acid (DPA), has
attracted great interest in recent years. In this work, mixed-lanthanide metal–organic …

Reversible anion binding at lanthanide centres in aqueous media has emerged as an
effective means of signalling and sensing the presence of selected anions. The constitution …

A single-functionalized ligand single-Ln 3+ based dual-emission Ln-MOF fluorescent sensor
was established for portable and visual dipicolinic acid (DPA, Bacillus anthracis biomarker) …

A ratiometric fluorescent sensor based on luminescent bio-metal-organic framework was
prepared by exchanging both Tb 3+ and Eu 3+ cations into anionic bio-MOF-1. Due to a …

Monitoring and early warning of spores germination is of great significance in avoiding their
potential pathogenicity. Thus, effective monitoring of markers during spore germination is of …

Lanthanide-based luminescent sensors have been widely used for the detection of the
anthrax biomarker dipicolinic acid (DPA). However, mainly based on DPA sensitization to …

Rapid, sensitive, and selective quantitative detection of pyridine dicarboxylic acid (DPA) as
biomarker of anthrax spores is in great demand since anthrax spores are highly lethal to …
