    Abstract: A method of detecting SARS-COV in a sample includes contacting a metal-organic framework with at least one fluorophore-labeled single-stranded probe deoxyribose nucleic acid (DNA) to form a biosensor. The metal-organic framework of the method is zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8), and the fluorophore-labeled single-stranded probe DNA (p-DNA) has a fluorescence signal at 513 to 517 nm. The method further includes contacting the sample with the biosensor in a solution, and the sample comprises a target sequence of SARS-COV. The target sequence of SARS-COV and the fluorophore-labeled single-stranded p-DNA of the method hybridize to form a double-stranded product. Following the step of the hybridization forming the double-stranded product, the method includes detecting the double-stranded product by observing a change in fluorescence.

    Abstract: A method of detecting Hg2+ ions in an aqueous solution is described. The method includes contacting the aqueous solution with a metal-organic framework (MOF) chemosensor composite to form a mixture and monitoring a change in an absorption and/or a fluorescence profile of the MOF chemosensor composite in the mixture to determine a presence or absence of Hg2+ ions in the aqueous solution. The MOF chemosensor composite includes fluorescein hydrazide (FH); and a MOF, including nickel as a metal ion and at least one trimesic acid (BTC) ligand. A hydrazide group on the fluorescein hydrazide coordinates to the metal ion of the MOF.

    Abstract: A method of fixating carbon dioxide (CO2) to form a substituted oxazolidinone is described. The method includes mixing a metal-organic framework (MOF), at least one epoxide, and at least one aromatic amine to form a mixture. The method further includes contacting the mixture with a gas stream containing CO2 to react the CO2 in the gas stream with the epoxide and the aromatic amine to form a substituted oxazolidinone. The MOF is a MIL-68(In)-X MOF. X is of formula (I): where at least one of R1 to R4 is an amine-containing group, and R1 to R4 are independently an amine-containing group or a hydrogen.
