Detection of high explosives is attracting increasing attention owing to homeland security, environmental and humanitarian implications.[1] 2, 4-Dinitrotoluene (DNT), an inevitable byproduct in the manufacturing process of 2, 4, 6-trinitrotoluene (TNT), has a room-temperature vapor pressure about 20times that of the latter. Therefore, the detection of nitroaromatic explosives is often achieved by detection of DNT. Conversely, plastic explosives often do not contain nitroaromatics, and their detection is consequently realized by detection of 2, 3-dimethyl-2, 3-dinitrobutane (DMNB, a taggant required by law in all commercial plastic explosives). In search of more convenient and cost-effective alternatives to the well-trained canines [2] or sophisticated analytical instruments,[3] new molecular, oligomeric, polymeric, and nanoscale materials that are capable of fast and reliable sensing of the above chemicals have recently been identified.[4–9] Fluorescence redox quenching is often the working mechanism within these systems.[4, 5] Although extremely high sensitivity towards nitroaromatic explosives has been demonstrated, detection of DMNB remains a great challenge, largely owing to its unfavorable reduction potential (À1. 7 V vs. SCE) and weak binding to the sensory materials, which arises from its three-dimensional molecular structure and lack of π–π interactions.[10]Microporous metal–organic frameworks (MMOFs) are a new class of zeolite-like crystalline material, and have been shown by recent research to have great potential for a wide range of applications, such as molecular storage and separation, catalysis, and sensing.[11] A small number of MMOFs have been discovered which are luminescent in the solid state.[12] The combination of luminescence and accessible porosity within such materials imparts them with the capability of transducing the host–guest chemistry to detectable
