The development of luminescent metal-organic frameworks for effective sensing and monitoring of environmental pollutants is of great significance for human health and environmental protection. In this work, a novel water-stable Zn(II)-based luminescent coordination polymer, namely {[Zn(BBDF)(ATP)]·2DMF·3H(2)O}(n) ((BBDF = 2,7-bis(1H-benzimidazol-1-yl)-9,9-dimethyl-9H-fluorene) and H(2)ATP = 2-aminoterephthalic acid), was designed and obtained using the mixed-ligand method. Structural analysis indicated that 1 presents a two-fold interpenetrat...
