However, challenges such as limited sensitivity, poor selectivity, and high operational costs remain, particularly for trace-level detection. In this study, we present a simple and scalable synthesis of lanthanide-based coordination polymers (Ln-COPs), denoted as Ho(DAB) and Tb(DAB), formed through the coordination of Ho(iii) and Tb(iii) ions, respectively, with the organic linker 3,3?-diaminobenzidine (DAB). Spectroscopic and electron microscopic analyses confirm their two-dimensional planar structure, resulting from the self-assembly of infinitely long polymeric strands. These luminescent Ln-COPs demonstrate exceptional performance as sensors for detecting both nitroaromatic and non-nitroaromatic explosives via fluorescence quenching. Notably, Tb(DAB) exhibits a remarkable limit of detection of 7.7 M for TNP. Furthermore, mechanistic insights into the quenching process are explored. These results underscore the sensitivity and practical applicability of Ln-COPs in advanced explosive detection systems.
