| Abstract: | A series of highly luminescent‐active metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) 1 – 3 with hierarchical pores have been rationally constructed and fully characterized. The predesigned semi‐rigid hexacarboxylate ligand hexa[4‐(carboxyphenyl)oxamethyl]‐3‐oxapentane acid (H6L) has been adapted with various space‐directed N donors (i.e., 2,2’‐bipyridine, 4,4′‐di(1H‐imidazol‐1‐yl)‐1,1′‐biphenyl, and 1,3,5‐tri(1H‐imidazol‐1‐yl)benzene) from a bidentate V‐shape to a tridentate Y‐shape. This family of multifunctional MOF materials represents a variety of potential applications in the following aspects: first, as luminescent sensors that show a fast and sensitive detection for pollutant CrO42? and Cr2O72? ions in aqueous media; second, as adsorbents that can rapidly remove harmful organic dyes; third, as an antenna that can effectively sensitize visible‐light‐emitting Tb3+ ions. These multifunctional MOF materials combine optical‐sensing, adsorption, and sensitization properties, thus are very useful in many potential applications. Furthermore, these materials have proved to be reusable. |
