Modelling the Structure of Metal-organic Framework Glasses
Abstract: We have recently demonstrated the glass-forming ability of the family of hybrid micro-porous materials known as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Specifically, a family known as zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs), consisting of Zn2+ ions linked by imidazolate (C3H3N2-) based organic ligands, melt upon heating in argon, and their liquids can be quenched to form glasses with a tetrahedral metal-ligand-metal connectivity. Here we propose to use netron total scattering to probe the structure of one example of a glass formed by such a route. Furthermore, we wish to investigate the relationship between this structure, and the same MOF ball-milled.
