Abstract
For the rapid detection of ascorbic acid (AA) and Cr(VI), three novel 2D coordination polymers (CP) with different metal centers [Co(L)(5-NIPA)(H2O)]·H2O (1), [Ni(L)(5-NIPA)(H2O)]·H2O (2) and [Cu(L)(5-NIPA)]·H2O (3) were synthesized by the traditionally hydrothermal method (L = N,N′-bis(pyridine-3-ylmethyl)-4-(4-carboxybenzyl)oxybenzamide, 5-NIPA = 5-nitroisophthalic acid). CPs 1 and 2 are isomorphic 2D regular (4,4)-connected networks, and CP 3 has a twisted 2D lamellar structure. All of the above complexes present highly sensitive and selective electrocatalytic sensing performances for AA and Cr(VI). The detection limits of the three complexes were 0.320, 3.360 and 3.600 μM for AA, and 0.2349, 0.9928 and 3.6054 μM for Cr(VI), respectively.

Introduction
With the rapid development of society and technology, while enjoying convenient life, people’s health is also under various threats from diet or the environment. For instance, ascorbic acid (AA) commonly known as vitamin C is an essential nutrient to increase the immunity and prevent the harm of free radicals to human body [1]. However, excessive intake of AA may also cause lithiasis and gastrointestinal diseases [2, 3]. Apart from dietary issues, environmental pollution also has a great impact on human health. For example, Cr2O72− and CrO42− as powerful oxidants have been widely used in chemical industry, resulting in a large amount of wastewater containing Cr. Among various valence states of Cr, Cr(VI) are the most toxic, which may lead to many serious diseases such as dermatitis, chronic ulcers and cancers [4, 5]. Therefore, it is crucial to find a convenient, rapid and efficient method for the detection of AA in body fluids and Cr(VI) in industrial wastewater. Different methods have been applied to detect AA and Cr(VI), such as spectrophotometric [6], fluorescence [7], liquid chromatography [8] and electrochemical method [9, 10]. It has been reported that a fluorescent probe with rhodamine B embedded in zinc metal–organic framework (Zn-MOF) has been invented for the detection of AA [11]. A mixed valence state Ce-MOF sensor was used for fluorescence detection of AA [12]. MOFs based on Cu2+ and Eu3+ ions were used for photoluminescence detection of AA [10]. A new U-shaped bending fiber optic sensor (U-FOS) probe was applied to detect Cr(VI) [13]. Novel thorium-based MOFs constructed with thorium cations and tetraphenylvinyl ligands for fluorescence detection of Cr(VI) [14]. A Zr-MOF-based electrochemical sensor for the detection of Cr(VI) was reported [15]. Among them, electrochemical method with the advantages of fast response rate and high sensitivity exhibits great practical application potential.
Coordination polymers (CPs) are a class of crystalline materials consisting of metal ions (or metal clusters) and organic ligands, which have been widely used for gas adsorption and separation [16], luminescence [17], magnetism [18], electrochemical sensing [19] and catalysis [20], etc. Especially, CPs are promising electrocatalytic sensors because of their unique features such as adjustable structure, stable framework, abundant active sites, and easy functionalization [21]. Several Co-CPs have been reported for the electrochemical sensing of L-cysteine with low detection limits [22]. And highly selective electrochemical sensing of Ni-CP for dopamine has been discovered [23]. Cu-CPs have been used to detect H2O2, glucose and 2,4-dichlorophenol by the electrochemical method [24,25,26]. Therefore, it is highly expectant to achieve the rapidly electrochemical sensing of AA and Cr(VI) by regulating the composition and structure of CPs.
In this work, different metals (Co, Ni and Cu) were selected to construct electrochemically active CPs by coordinating with N,N′-bis(pyridine-3-ylmethyl)-4-(4-carboxybenzyl)oxybenzamide (L) and 5-nitroisophthalic acid (5-NIPA). Three 2D complexes [Co(L)(5-NIPA)(H2O)]·H2O (1), [Ni(L)(5-NIPA)(H2O)]·H2O (2) and [Cu(L)(5-NIPA)]·H2O (3) were obtained by the hydrothermal method. Subsequently, CPs 1–3 were prepared as carbon paste electrodes to detect AA and Cr(VI), and highly sensitive and selective sensing performances were observed.

The paste mixture was then placed in a glass tubem, and electrical contact was established by a polished copper rod. Finally, the shiny electrode surface was polished with weighing paper.
Results and discussion
Description of structural features for CPs 1–3
The single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis shows that CPs 1 and 2 have the same space groups (P21/n), crystal systems (monoclinic), coordination environments, topology structures and similar crystallographic parameters (Table 1). In 1 and 2, each metallic ion [M=Co(II) for 1 and Ni(II) for 2] is six-coordinated by three carboxylic O atoms, one coordination water and two N atoms from the pyridyls of L to form typical octahedral coordination patterns (Fig. 1a and b). The Co−O distances are in the range of 2.040(2) Å–2.421(2) Å. The corresponding Ni−O distances are in the range of 2.0510(17) Å–2.2856(19) Å. The Co−N and Ni−N distances are from 2.066(2) Å to 2.111(2) Å (Tables S1–S2). The bond length of the Ni-related coordination bonds in CP 2 is slightly shorter than that of Co(II) in CP 1, mainly because the atomic radius of Ni(II) is slightly smaller than that of Co(II). When Cu(II) with a smaller ionic radius is selected to combine with L and 5-NIPA, CP 3 with two crystallographically independent Cu(II) ions is obtained. In CP 3, Cu1 is six-coordinated by four carboxylic O atoms and two N atoms from the pyridyls of L to form typical octahedral coordination pattern (Fig. 1a and b). Cu2 is four-coordinated by two carboxylic O atoms and two N atoms from the pyridyls of L to form quadrilateral coordination pattern (Fig. 1a and b). The Cu−O distances are in the range of 1.908(3) Å to 2.489(3) Å. The Cu−N distances are 1.988(4) Å and 2.026(4) Å (Tables S3). In 1 and 2, the N atoms are in the cis-position of the octahedral coordination conformation, and the bond angles of N−M−N are 94.15(10)ο and 93.47(9)ο, respectively, while the N atoms in 3 are in the trans-position with the N−M−N bond angles of 180ο. In CPs 1−3, metal ions are all extended into 1D metal-carboxylate chains through 5-NIPA, but 5-NIPA anions are on the same side of the metal-carboxylate chains in 1−2, and on both sides of the chain in 3 (Fig. 1c). Owing to the conformational flexibility of the ether group (−O−) and three methylene groups (−CH2−) in L, the metal ions are both extended into 1D helical chains through L in 1−2, but one wave like Cu-L chain was obtained in 3. (Fig. 1d and e). Finally, the metal-carboxylate chains and metal-L chains are extended into regular (for 1−2) and twisted (for 3) (4,4)-connected networks by co-metallic centers. The above in-depth structural analysis shows that the metal ions have obvious guiding effect on the structures of the title complexes.
Characterization of CPs 1–3
The infrared (IR) spectra of CPs 1–3 are shown in Fig. S1. The characteristic peaks appearing at 3376, 3368, 3368 cm−1 for the CPs 1–3 are assigned to the stretching vibrations of the N–H bond from the amide group in L ligand [27]. The characteristic peaks of C–N bond in pyridine ring of L ligand are present at 1636–1644 cm−1 [28]. The stretching vibration of nitro appears at 1530–1500 cm−1 [29]. The absorption peaks at 1200–1300 cm−1 are attributed to the antisymmetric stretching vibration of the ether bond in L ligand, and the peaks of symmetric stretching vibration appear at 1036, 1045, 1045 cm−1 [30]. The characteristic peaks of –CH2– in L ligand locate at 2917, 2917 and 2938 cm−1, respectively [31].
The powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) patterns of 1–3 were measured to determine the purity of CPs 1–3 and the crystallinity of bulk crystals. As shown in Fig. S2, the diffraction peaks of as-prepared 1–3 are basically consistent with the simulated ones, indicating the great phase purity and crystallinity of CPs 1–3. The differences in peak intensity may be due to the change of preferred orientation of crystals [32].
The thermal stability of CPs 1–3 was characterized by the thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). As shown in Fig. S3, the weight loss before 170 °C is attributed to the loss of the crystallization and coordination water in CPs 1–3. The thermal stability can reach to about 300 °C for CP 1, 310 °C for CP 2 and 250 °C for CP 3, respectively, after which the frameworks of CPs 1–3 collapse.
Cyclic voltammograms of 1–3CPEs
Cyclic voltammetry (CV) curves of CPs 1–3 modified carbon paste electrodes (1–3CPEs) were measured at different scan rates (20–500 mVs−1) in the electrolyte solution of 0.1 M H2SO4 + 0.5 M Na2SO4 aqueous solution. As shown in Fig. 2 and S4, a pair of reversible redox peaks exists in CV curves of all three carbon paste electrodes in the point range from 600 to − 200 mV. The average peak potentials E1/2 = (Epa + Epc)/2 of 1–3CPEs are 271, 240 and 250 mV, respectively, belonging to the redox processes of Co, Ni and Cu centers in CPs 1–3 [33,34,35]. In addition, the peak currents of 1–3CPEs increase as the scan rate increases and are approximately linearly correlated with the scan rate, proving that the redox process of CPs 1–3 is surface controlled [36].
Catalytic properties for AA
The electrocatalytic properties of the three complexes for AA were investigated owing to fast and convenient detection of electrochemical method. As shown in Fig. 3a, S5a and S6a, the oxidation peak current of 1–3CPEs gradually increased with the increase in AA concentration, and the corresponding reduction peak current gradually decreased. Compared to the 1–3CPEs, bare electrode composed of Cu-wire with carbon past (bare-CPE) presented low electrocatalytic activity for AA sensing (Fig. S7), manifesting the great electrocatalytic oxidation behavior of CPs 1–3 toward AA. In addition, the current responses of 1–3CPEs with continuous addition of different concentrations of AA solution with 30-s interval were monitored at optimal voltages (Fig. 3b, S5b and S6b). It was found that the response current exhibited an excellent linear relationship with the concentration of AA (5–1000 μM) in Fig. 3c, S5c and S6c. According to the equation (S/N = 3), the detection limits (LOD) of 1–3CPEs for AA were 0.320, 3.360 and 3.600 μM, respectively (Table S4). The differences of 1–3CPEs in electrochemical sensing capabilities may be due to the differences of morphology, roughness and defect sites on the surfaces of the modified electrodes, and different composition and structure of complexes [37,38,39].
The selectivity of electrochemical sensors in the real environment is an important indicator to evaluate their performances. Some of potentially interfering substances including glucose, sodium citrate, sodium thiosulfate and fructose were added to the electrochemical sensing system of AA (Fig. 3d, S5d and S6d). The results showed that the response of current was weak in all cases when these interfering substances were added. Thus, it can be demonstrated that 1–3CPEs possess excellent selectivity for the electrochemical detection of AA.
Catalytic properties for Cr(VI)
The electrocatalytic performances of 1–3CPEs for Cr(VI) were also explored. The reduction peak currents of 1–3CPEs gradually enhanced and the corresponding oxidation peak currents weakened with the increase in Cr(VI) concentration (Fig. 4a, S8a and S9a). At the same condition, the low electrocatalytic sensing performance of bare-CPE for Cr(VI) was observed (Fig. S10), indicating the excellent electrocatalytic reduction activity of CPs 1–3 for Cr(VI). As shown in Fig. 4b, S8b and S9b, 1–3CPEs exhibited satisfactory current responses with continuous addition of different concentrations of Cr(VI) at optimal voltages with 30-s interval. The great linear relationship between current and Cr(VI) concentration (5–150 μM) was observed in all of 1–3CPEs (Fig. 4c, S8c and S9c). The detection limits of 1–3CPEs for Cr(VI) concentration were calculated (0.2349, 0.9928 and 3.6054 μM, respectively), which presented the same order as that of AA (1 < 2 < 3) and low LOD values compared to reported working electrodes (Table S4). Furthermore, the selective sensing of 1–3CPEs for Cr(VI) vs interfering substances (Na+, Cd2+, Co2+, Ca2+ and Cu2+) was investigated. The unchanged current response for these interfering substances demonstrated the excellent electrochemical detection selectivity of 1–3CPEs for Cr(VI) (Fig. 4d, S8d and S9d).
The stability of CPs 1–3 was demonstrated by the PXRD patterns of recycled electrode materials. As shown in Fig. S11, the X-ray diffraction peaks of recycled CPs 1–3 were consistent with the simulated ones and the low peak intensity was due to the low content of CPs 1–3 in electrode materials. These results indicated the outstanding stability of CPs 1–3 in the electrochemical sensing process of AA and Cr(VI).
Conclusion
In summary, three 2D complexes were prepared by selecting different metal centers (Co, Ni and Cu) assembling with amide ligand L and dicarboxylic acid co-ligand 5-NIPA. These complexes exhibited outstanding electrochemical sensing properties for AA and Cr(VI) with the detection limits of 0.320, 3.360 and 3.600 μM for AA and 0.2349, 0.9928 and 3.6054 μM for Cr(VI), respectively. The design and synthesis of these complexes provide new candidates for highly efficient and selective detection of AA in human body and Cr(VI) in environment.
