However, they also pose a non-negligible risk to ecosystems. In this study, we demonstrated that a fluorescent metal–organic framework(MOF)(named V-101) constructed from In^(3+)and an aromatic-rich tetratopic carboxylate ligand 5-[2,6-bis(4-carboxyphenyl) pyridin-4-yl] isophthalic acid(H4BCPIA) exhibited highly efficient turn-off and turn-on fluorescence responses toward five short-chain PFCAs in water and methanol, respectively. The limits of detection of V-101 toward five short-chain PFCAs are down to μg/L level, and it showed good anti-interference abilities toward short-chain PFCAs in the presence of common metal ions. The major mechanisms associated with fluorescence responses were molecular collisions and interactions between V-101 and short-chain PFCAs. This work demonstrates that the structure variety of MOFs imparts them with the potential of MOFs in the detection of short-chain PFCAs for pollution control.展开更多
