Ab Initio Study of Amorphous Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework (A-ZIF) and Pyrophosphate crystals
Zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) are a rapidly emerging class of versatile porous material with many potential applications. Here, we report the construction of an amorphous ZIF (a-ZIF) model from a near-perfect continuous random network model of a-SiO₂. The radial distribution function is in …
