Two pillared metal-organic frameworks containing urea functional groups were synthesized by vial method and characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray powder diffraction and elemental analysis.These two frameworks are interesting candidates for a comparative fluorescence study. Thus, their potential abilities for phenol sensing, were investigated. This investigation revealed the prominent roles of hydrogen bond donating urea groups inside the pore cavity in the ability of these structures in phenol sensing.
