Graphical Abstract

A real turn-on: A luminescent lanthanide metal–organic framework shows strong and fast turn-on responses to N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) vapor. The selective turn-on effect is triggered mainly by DMF–ligand interactions, along with the removal of quencher, water, from the metal coordination sphere.
