This study demonstrates the sensitivity of melting behavior in zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) towards linker chemistry, with small variations capable of eliciting significant changes in melting temperature. It provides a promising strategy for tuning the melting behavior of ZIFs.
The number of zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) that form melt-quenched glasses remains limited, with most displaying the cag network topology. Here, we expand our studies to zni topology ZIFs, starting with ZIF-zni [Zn(Im)(2)] before changing its linker chemistry, by incorporating 2-methylimidazolate and 5-aminobenzimidazolate. ZIF-zni was found to melt and form a glass, with T-m = 576 degrees C and T-g = 322 degrees C, although it was not possible to prepare the glass without zinc oxide impurities. The addition of 2-methylimidazolate to the structure gave ZIF-61 [Zn(Im)(1.35)(mIm)(0.65)], which decomposed without passing through the liquid state. However, incorporating small quantities of 5-aminobenzimidazolate resulted in a ZIF [Zn(Im)(1.995)(abIm)(0.005)] with a lower melting temperature (T-m = 569 degrees C) than pure ZIF-zni, and no evidence of zinc oxide growth. This demonstrates the sensitivity of melting behaviour in ZIFs towards linker chemistry, with only a 0.25% variation capable of eliciting a 7 degrees C change in melting temperature. This study highlights the chemical sensitivity of melting in ZIFs and serves as a promising strategy for tuning their melting behaviour.
