Two new isostructural 3D lanthanide–organic frameworks [H2N(Me)2] [Ln3(OH)(bpt)3(H2O)3] (DMF)2⋅(H2O)4 (1-Ln; Ln=Sm and Eu) with a 1D channel (25 Å) have been successfully assembled from the rare trinuclear [Ln3(OH)(COO)9] clusters and biphenyl-3,4′,5-tricarboxylic acid (H3bpt) and exhibit high stability towards water in the pH range 3–10. MOF 1-Eu is a promising luminescent probe for sensing Fe3+ in aqueous solution and is also selective towards rhodamine B (RhB) with a superior adsorption capacity of 735 mg g−1, which is the highest among the reported Ln-MOFs for RhB removal so far. Periodic DFT calculations further confirmed the selective adsorption of rhodamine B over other dyes.
