Metal-organic framework (MOF) composite materials containing ionic liquids (ILs) have been proposed for a range of potential applications, including gas separation, ion conduction, and hybrid glass formation. Here, an order transition in an IL@MOF composite is discovered using CuBTC (copper benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylate)…
Hybrid glass formation offers a potential route for processing metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs) in bulk shapes, however, only a small number of MOFs have proven to be meltable. For the non‐meltable zeolitic imidazolate framework ZIF‐8, ionic liquid (IL) incorporation has recently been found to reduce…
Tunable photoluminescence (PL) from transparent inorganic glass matrices is of interest for applications demanding a semitransparent photoconverter that does not elastically scatter incoming light. For this purpose, bismuth (Bi)‐doped optical materials exhibit unique spectral characteristics in terms…
Hybrid glasses from melt-quenched metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been emerging as a new class of materials, which combine the functional properties of crystalline MOFs with the processability of glasses. However, only a handful of the crystalline MOFs are meltable. Porosity and metal-linker interaction…
Melt-quenched (MQ) glasses derived from metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged very recently as tunable organic-inorganic hybrid glasses, showing potential applications in gas separation. Zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) are a subclass of MOFs which have shown high meltability. ZIF-62, a…
