2D Zn-MOF fluorescence probe for detecting D-tyrosine in methanol or aqueous systems

•Zn-1 shows excellent air, solvent, thermal and fluorescent stability.•Zn-1 can be used as fluorescence probe for sensitivity detecting D-tyr in organic or aqueous environments.•Impressive selectivity of Zn-1 was observed towards D-tyr in the simulated nature system with 18 kinds of interferes.•Zn-1/H2O probe was applied to the determination of D-tyr in real milk samples with good results.
