Abstract

Abstract : We find that a novel purine-containing framework has one of the lowest melting temperatures recorded for a ZIF. Abstract : The chemistries that can be incorporated within melt-quenched zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF) glasses are currently limited. Here we describe the preparation of a previously unknown purine-containing ZIF which we name ZIF-UC-7. We find that it melts and forms a glass at one of the lowest temperatures reported for 3D hybrid frameworks.
