Selective Sensing of Fe3+ Ions Using a Water-stable Magnesium Coordination Polymer

A new water-stable magnesium (Mg) coordination polymer (Mg(HPCD)(H2O)) with a two-dimensional structure was synthesized and structurally characterized, and its luminescence properties were studied. The high blue emission intensity and the available coordinating nature of Mg-CP make it useful as a luminescent sensor of Fe3+ ions.
