The demon mirror (Zhaoyaojing in Chinese) in the Journey to the West, a Chinese classical literature, can reflect the original shape of demons. Both as-prepared coordination polymers, [Zn(PTA)(DTP)(H2O)2]·(DMF) (CP-1) and [Zn(BTC)(DTP)]·(CH3CN)1.5·(H2O)4 (CP-2), can act as demon mirror to detect the different environmental pollutants. This image presented the magic demon mirror to reflect the presence of pollutants, the demons in environment, which provided an opportunity for the readers to appreciate Chinese traditional culture.

ABSTRACT

Two coordination polymers (CPs) [Zn(PTA)(DTP)(H2O)2]·(DMF) (CP-1) and [Zn(BTC)(DTP)]·(CH3CN)1.5·(H2O)4 (CP-2) with one- and two-dimensional architectures were synthesized from Zn(II) ion and different organic linkers like terephthalic acid (H2PTA), benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid (H3BTC), and 3,5-di(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl) pyridine (DTP). The fluorescent sensing experiments showed that the two CPs displayed effective, sensitive, and selective abilities towards Fe3+ and Cr2O72-. For sensing the pesticides, CP-1 outperforms in sensing of metamitron (MMT) and CP-2 is ultrasensitive towards imidacloprid (IMI). The possible mechanisms involved in the quenching of the fluorescence intensity include the inner filter effect (IFE) and the fluore- scence resonance energy transfer (FRET) effect.
