We describe the first meltable iron-based zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF), denoted MUV-24. This material, elusive from direct synthesis, is obtained thermal treatment of [Fe3(im)6(Him)2], which yields Fe(im)2 upon loss neutral imidazole molecules. Different crystalline phase transformations are observed further heating, until material melts at 482 °C. Vitrification cooling liquid gives rise to Fe-metal-organic glass. X-ray total scattering experiments show that tetrahedral environment...

Bond breaking has emerged as a new tool to postsynthetically modify the pore structure in metal-organic frameworks since it allows us obtain environments structures that are inaccessible by other techniques. Here, we extend concept of clip-off chemistry archetypical ZIF-8, taking advantage different stabilities bonds between imidazolate and Zn Fe metal atoms heterometallic Fe-Zn-ZIF-8. We demonstrate centers can be removed selectively without affecting backbone is supported atoms. This...

<title>Abstract</title> Glasses are ubiquitous in our everyday lives but still pose fundamental questions about the nature of order solids. Typically formed by rapid cooling a liquid, these amorphous solids have broad applications, with vitreous silica (SiO2) most well-known example.1 Most functional glasses purely inorganic solids, restricting range properties feasible.2 Recently, number new metal-organic framework (MOF) containing molecular components has been discovered heating their...

Metal–organic framework (MOF) composites are proposed as solutions to the mechanical instability of pure MOF materials. Here, we present a new compositional series recently discovered MOF–crystalline inorganic glass composites. In this case, formed by combination photocatalytic titanium (MIL-125-NH2) and phosphate-based (20%Na2O–10%Na2SO4–70%P2O5). This family has been synthesized characterized using powder X-ray diffraction, thermal gravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry,...

We report the solvent-free synthesis of a crystalline heterometallic imidazolate derivative with formula [Fe1Zn2(im)6(Him)2], designated MUV-25, incorporating both iron and zinc. The structure imposes strict positional constraints on metal...

The isolation of high-quality flakes 2D MOFs in large amounts remains a challenge. In this work, we obtained nanosheets for whole family Fe-based magnetic MOFs, MUV-1-X, through liquid exfoliation procedure. High-quality crystalline layers with lateral sizes 8 μm and thicknesses 4 nm, which retain the structural integrity properties, are obtained.

Composites composed of ionic liquids (ILs) and metal-organic framework (MOF) materials have been proposed for a range potential applications, including gas separation, ion conduction, hybrid glass formation. Here, we discover an order transition in IL@MOF composite using the commodity compounds CuBTC (copper benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylate) EMIMTFSI (1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide). This absent bare MOF or IL provides extended super-cooling latent heat storage at...
