The Effect of Framework Structure and Chemical Functionality on Melting in Zeolitic Imidazolate Frameworks
Interest in the amorphous phases of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) has increased in recent years. Special consideration has been given to melt-quenched MOF glasses: the first new category of glass discovered in 50 years. Zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) are the most common MOF family that …

Polymer molecular sieve membranes
… colloidal science. Crystalline microporous zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) nanocrystals are incorporated into a polyimide polymer matrix via solution mixing. The resulting nanocomposite membranes show excellent dispersion of nanoparticles, good adhesion at the interface, and enhanced …

The Development of Hybrid Liquids and Glasses
… has focused on a sub-set of MOFs known as Zeolitic Imidazolate Frameworks (ZIFs). This work begins with a discussion of the structure of MOF glasses, particularly focusing on structure occurring beyond the first metal-metal correlation, also termed mid-range order. The observed midrange …

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 …

Synthesis and Characterisation of new materials formed from metal-organic frameworks and glasses
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are hybrid materials consisting of inorganic and organic building blocks which self-assemble into porous, three-dimensional structures. They are emerging as functional materials for gas storage and separation, catalysis and drug delivery. However, a drawback to their …
