A novel sensitive and selective chemosensor for fluorescent detection of Zn2+ in cosmetics creams based on a covalent post functionalized Al-MOF

A material was fabricated based on the Schiff base reaction to achieve covalent attachment of NH₂-MIL-53(Al) and 3-formylsalicylic acid for fluorimetric detection of Zn²⁺ ions based on inhibition and destruction of CN isomerization and ESIPT.
