| Description | A novel Zn(II) metal-organic framework $[Zn_{4}O(C_{30}H_{12}F_{4}O_{4}S_{8})_{3}]_{n}$, namely ZnBPD-4F4TS, has been constructed from a fluoro- and thiophenethio-functionalized ligand 2,2′,5,5′-tetrafluoro-3,3′,6,6′-tetrakis(2-thiophenethio)-4,4′-biphenyl dicarboxylic acid $(H_{2}$BPD-4F4TS). ZnBPD-4F4TS shows a broad green emission around 520 nm in solid state luminescence, with a Commission International De L’Eclairage (CIE) coordinate at x = 0.264, y = 0.403. Since $d^{10}$-configured Zn(II) is electrochemically inert, its photoluminescence is likely ascribed to ligand-based luminescence which originates from the well-conjugated system of phenyl and thiophenethio moieties. Its luminescent intensities diminish to different extents when exposed to various metal ions, indicating its potential as an optical sensor for detecting metal ion species. Furthermore, ZnBPD-4F4TS and its $NH_{4}$Br-loaded composite, $NH_{4}$Br@ZnBPD-4F4TS, were used for proton conduction measurements in different relative humidity (RH) levels and temperatures. Original ZnBPD-4F4TS shows a low proton conductivity of 9.47 × $10^{−10}$ S $cm^{−1}$ while $NH_{4}$Br@ZnBPD-4F4TS shows a more than 25,000-fold enhanced value of 2.38 × $10^{−}$5 S $cm^{−1}$ at 40 °C and 90% RH. Both of the proton transport processes in ZnBPD-4F4TS and $NH_{4}$Br@ZnBPD-4F4TS belong to the Grotthuss mechanism with $E_{a}$ = 0.40 and 0.32 eV, respectively. |
