Dye encapsulation and one-pot synthesis of microporous–mesoporous zeolitic imidazolate frameworks for CO₂ sorption and adenosine triphosphate biosensing

Abstract

, respectively. The encapsulated cationic molecules improved the adsorption performance compared to anionic molecules inside the crystal. The materials were also tested as a fluorescent probe for ATP biosensing. The simple synthesis procedure offered new materials with tunable surface properties and the potential for multi-functional applications.
