Benzophenone (BP) is an ultraviolet filter (UVF) widely used in personal care products such as sunscreens and cosmetics. Excessive exposure to BP-type UVFs is a potential threat to human's health because of their endocrine-disrupting activity. Water stability of lanthanide compounds is crucial when they serve as luminescent sensors because of the practicality and recyclability. In this study, a water-stable luminescent Zn-Tb heterometallic coordination polymer was rationally designed and synthesized for rapid detection of BP. This material showed a high quenching effect, excellent selectivity, and fast response toward BP.
