Abstract

Sulforhodamine B (SRB) is widely utilized for cell staining and laser field. But its application is limited by aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ). In this work, we evaluated the use of UiO-66 and UiO-67 of Zr-based metal organic frameworks (Zr-MOFs) as the host to adsorb SRB molecules due to the high stabily and good loading capacity of Zr-MOFs. The fluorescence properties of the compounds were then discussed respectively. Due to the aperture difference between UiO-66 and UiO-67, they showed distinct fluorescence properties after loading SRB. When the concentration reaches 5 ppm, fluorescence quenching begins to occur in SRB@UiO-66, while it occurs in SRB@UiO-67 at 2 ppm. The solution of quenching phenomenon could open new avenues for the extensive use of SRB.

Highlights

• After functionalization, the Zr-based metal organic frameworks (Zr-MOFs) have fluorescence properties based on their strong adsorption capacity, which can be implemented in cell dye and laser materials.

• The adsorption capacity can be achieved by controlling the porosity of the material, a greater porosity ensures a stronger adsorption capacity and fluorescence.

• Moreover, sulforhodamine B (SRB)@Zr-MOFs mainly emits blue-violet light and features adjustable color temperature.
