dc.description.abstract2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfide (CEES) is a simulant for the chemical warfare agent, bis(2-chloroethyl) sulfide, also known as mustard gas. Here, we demonstrate a facile and rapid method to synthesize a functionalized metal-organic framework (MOF) material for the detection of CEES in trace level. While Zr-BTC is synthesized, in-situ encapsulation of fluorescent material (Fluorescein) into Zr-BTC voids is performed with a simple solvothermal reaction. The produced F@Zr-BTC is used as a fluorescent probe for CEES detections. The synthesized material shows fluorescence quenching under illumination at excitation wavelength of 470 nm when the F@Zr-BTC is exposed to CEES. This sensing material shows the highest fluorescence quenching at an emission wavelength of 534 nm with CEES concentration as low as 50 ppb. Therefore, the demonstrated sensing method with F@Zr-BTC offers a fast and convenient protocol for selective and sensitive detection of CEES in practical applications.en_US
