A microporous luminescent metal-organic framework [Zn;L;(H;O);].(H;O);(DMA);(1)(H;L=5,5’-((1H-pyrazole-3,5-dicarbonyl)bis(azanediyl))diisophthalic acid, DMA=N,N-dimethylacetamide) was synthesized and characterized by infrared radiation(IR), thermogravimetric analyses(TGA), powder X-ray diffraction spectra(PXRD) and X-ray diffraction. Complex 1has a three dimensional(3D) framework, which can be simplified as 5,5,5,5-c net with the Schlfi symbol of {43.64.83}{44.65.8}{45.65}2. This luminescent metal-organic framework(MOF) shows selectively sensitive to nitrobenzene and series of nitroaromatic explosives such as 4-nitrotoluene, 1,4-dinitrobenzene, 1,3-dinitrobenzene and 2,4-dinitrotoluene, and exhibits well recyclability. So complex 1 could be used to detect nitroaromatic explosives as a selective sensing material.
