In this work, a 3D printed sensor modified with a water-stable complex of Fe(III) basic benzoate is presented for the voltammetric detection of glucose (GLU) in acidic epidermal skin conditions. The GLU sensor was produced by the drop-casting of Fe(III)-cluster ethanolic mixture on the surface of a 3D printed electrode fabricated by a carbon black loaded polylactic acid filament. The oxidation of GLU was electrocatalyzed by Fe(III), which was electrochemically generated in-situ by the Fe(III)-cluster precursor. The GLU determination was carried out by differential pulse voltammetry without the interference from common electroactive metabolites presented in sweat (such as urea, uric acid, and lactic acid), offering a limit of detection of 4.3 μmol L⁻¹. The exceptional electrochemical performance of [Fe₃O(PhCO₂)₆(H₂O)₃]∙PhCO₂ combined with 3D printing technology forms an innovative and low-cost enzyme-free sensor suitable for noninvasive applications, opening the way for integrated 3D printed wearable biodevices.

We present a series of alkaline earth-organic frameworks based on amino-substituted 2,6-naphthalene dicarboxylate bridging ligands featuring infinite rod and rarely observed square planar M ₄ secondary building units (SBUs).
