A metal-organic framework {[Zn(L)_0.5(1,2,4,5-tpb)_0.5]·DMF·3H₂O}_n (1) was synthesized by solvothermal reaction, where H₄L=5,5′-(ethane-1,2-diyl)diisophthalic acid, and 1,2,4,5-tpb=1,2,4,5-tetra(pyridin-4-yl)benzene. The analysis of the single crystal structure indicates that L^4- and 1,2,4,5-tpb are connected with Zn(Ⅱ) to form a 2D layered structure, and the layers are linked by 1,2,4,5-tpb to form a 3D structure. 1 can be used as a highly selective fluorescent probe for the detection of 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine (DNP) and tetracycline (TET), and the detection limits were 0.013 and 0.31 μmol·L^-1, respectively. 1 was applied successfully to the determination of TET content in the Yanhe River water sample.
