摘要： A new boronic acid functionalized Zr(IV) metal?organic framework having the capability of sensing H2O2 in live cells is reported. The Zr-MOF bears a UiO-66 structure and contains 2-boronobenzene-1,4-dicarboxylic acid (BDC-B(OH)2) as a framework linker. The activated Zr-UiO-66-B(OH)2 compound (called 1′) is highly selective for the ?uorogenic detection of H2O2 in HEPES bu?er at pH 7.4, even in the presence of interfering ROS (ROS = reactive oxygen species) and other biologically relevant analytes. The ?uorescent probe was found to display extraordinary sensitivity for H2O2 (detection limit 0.015 μM) in HEPES bu?er, which represents a lower value in comparison to those of the MOF probes documented so far for sensing H2O2 using other analytical methods. Taking advantage of its high selectivity and sensitivity for H2O2 in HEPES bu?er, the probe was successfully employed for the imaging of intracellular H2O2. Imaging studies with MDAMB-231 cells revealed the emergence of bright blue ?uorescence after loading with probe 1′ and subsequent treatment with H2O2 solution.
