Abstract:
In this work we expand the family of ZIFs capable of being melt-quenched into a vitreous phase with the first Mn-based glass. This is achieved by preparing two new Mn-based ZIFs with topologies dia-c and znivia solvent-free synthesis and subsequent melting. This study also provides a direct comparison of metal effects on melting and decomposition behaviour, highlighting the relationship between bond strength and thermal properties.
