A water-stable, microporous, luminescent Ni(II)-based metal-organic framework (MOF) (Ni-OBA-Bpy-18) with a 4-c uninodal sql topology was solvothermally synthesized using mixed N-, O-donor-directed π-conjugated co-ligands. The extraordinary performance of this MOF toward rapid monitoring of mutagenic explosive trinitrophenol (TNP) in aqueous and vapor phases by the fluorescence "Turn-off" technique with an ultralow detection limit of 66.43 ppb (Ksv: 3.45 × 105 M-1) was governed by a synchronous occurrence of photoinduced electron transfer-resonance energy transfer-intermolecular charge transfer (PET-RET-ICT) and non-covalent π···π weak interactions, as revealed from density functional theory studies. The recyclable nature of the MOF, detection from complex environmental matrices, and fabrication of a handy MOF@cotton-swab detection kit certainly escalated the on-field viability of the probe. Interestingly, the presence of electron-withdrawing TNP decisively facilitated the redox events of the reversible NiIII/II and NiIV/III couples under an applied voltage based on which electrochemical recognition of TNP was realized by the Ni-OBA-Bpy-18 MOF/glassy carbon electrode, with an excellent detection limit of ∼0.6 ppm. Such detection of a specific analyte by MOF-based probe via two divergent yet coherent techniques is unprecedented and yet to be explored in relevant literature.
