In this study, a zeolitic imidazole framework (ZIF-8) was prepared, and physico-chemical characterizations were performed to investigate the influences of triethylamine (TEA) on the crystallinity, particle size, morphology, and defects of ZIF-8 synthesized via an aqueous room temperature approach with a relatively low molar ratio of ligands to metal salts. Increasing the concentration of TEA by raising the TEA/total molar ratio from 0.004 to 0.007 prompted the formation of pure phase ZIF-8, whereas a TEA/total molar ratio below 0.004 did not result in a yield of ZIF-8. The particle size of ZIF-8 decreased from approximately 288 to 133 nm with increasing TEA/total molar ratio, except at a TEA/total molar ratio of 0.007. However, an excessive TEA/total molar ratio alters the 2-MeIM chemistry, and partially forms hydroxylated 2-MeIM. Thus, this study shows that at relatively low molar ratios of ligands to metal salts, up to a maximum TEA/total molar ratio of 0.006, the TEA concentration plays an important role in assisting crystal formation and in controlling the particle size of ZIF-8. The proposed procedure enables pure phase nanoscale ZIF-8 to be synthesized with a high product yield and with minimal chemical usage.
