title: A Cryptand Metal-Organic Framework as a Platform for the Selective Uptake and Detection of Group I Metal Cations.
abstract: The metal-organic framework (MOF) complex (H3O)2[Zn4(ur)(Hfdc)2(fdc)4] (1, ur=urotropine, H2fdc=furan-2,5-dicarboxylic acid) incorporates cryptand-like cavities, which can be used to separate and detect Rb+and Cs+optically. This is the first example of the effective employment of a MOF material for optical detection of these cations.
