A novel Zn/Co zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF) has been constructed which demonstrates better gas adsorption (CO2, CH4 and N2) and catalytic (CO2 conversion) properties compared with ZIF-8 and ZIF-67.

<p>Metal–organic frameworks that display step-shaped adsorption profiles arising from discrete pressure-induced phase changes are promising materials for applications in both high-capacity gas storage and energy-efficient gas separations. The thorough investigation of such materials through chemical diversification, gas adsorption measurements, and <i>in situ </i>structural characterization is therefore crucial for broadening their utility. We examine a series of isoreticular, flexible zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) of the type M(bim)<sub>2</sub> (SOD; M = Zn<sup> </sup>(ZIF-7), Co (ZIF-9), Cd (CdIF-13); bim<sup>–</sup> = benzimidazolate), and elucidate the effects of metal substitution on the pressure-responsive phase changes and the resulting CO<sub>2</sub> and CH<sub>4</sub> step positions, pre-step uptakes, and step capacities. Using ZIF-7 as a benchmark, we reexamine the poorly understood structural transition responsible for its adsorption steps and, through high-pressure adsorption measurements, verify that it displays a step in its CH<sub>4 </sub>adsorption isotherms. The ZIF-9 material is shown to undergo an analogous phase change, yielding adsorption steps for CO<sub>2</sub> and CH<sub>4</sub> with similar profiles and capacities to ZIF-7, but with shifted threshold pressures. Further, the Cd<sup>2+</sup> analogue CdIF-13 is reported here for the first time, and shown to display adsorption behavior distinct from both ZIF-7 and ZIF-9, with negligible pre-step adsorption, a ~50% increase in CO<sub>2</sub> and CH<sub>4</sub> capacity, and dramatically higher threshold adsorption pressures. Remarkably, a single-crystal-to-single-crystal phase change to a pore-gated phase is also achieved with CdIF-13, providing insight into the phase change that yields step-shaped adsorption in these flexible ZIFs. Finally, we show that the endothermic phase change of these frameworks provides intrinsic heat management during gas adsorption. </p>

In this article, zeolitic-imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) and its mixed metal CoZn-ZIF-8 were synthesized via a rapid microwave method. They exhibited a nanogate opening pressure threshold for the adsorption of C3 and C4 compounds.

Ionic-liquid-functionalized zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIF) were synthesized using the co-ligands of 2-methylimidazole and amine-functionalized ionic liquid during the formation process of frameworks. The resulting ionic-liquid-modified ZIF had a specific surface area of 1707 m2·g−1 with an average pore size of about 1.53 nm. Benefiting from the large surface area and the high solubility of carbon dioxide in ionic-liquid moieties, the synthesized materials exhibited a carbon dioxide adsorption capacity of about 24.9 cm3·g−1, whereas it was 16.3 cm3·g−1 for pristine ZIF at 25 °C under 800 mmHg. The results demonstrate that the modification of porous materials with ionic liquids could be an effective way to fabricate solid sorbents for carbon dioxide adsorption.

The Ag2O/layered zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF) composite material shows much higher CO faradaic efficiency and current density than the layered ZIF or Ag/C alone towards CO2 electroreduction.

<p>Improvements in bioanalytical technologies are driven by evolving threats and challenges to the global community. These challenges include emerging diseases, the need for substance screening and increasing environmental pollution. Here, we present a new bioanalytical concept that employs nanosized Metal-Organic Framework (MOF) particles as labels for antibody-based analytical methods, including enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA). A strategy for covalently linking antibodies to form stable, colloidal Zeolitic Imidazolate Frameworks (ZIFs) conjugates is described. The proof of principle for their use in LFIA is presented. In particular, ZIF-antibody conjugates displayed excellent behaviour in dispersion and good mobility via lateral flow on a solid substrate while retaining full selectivity of the antibody. Moreover, protein aggregation of the antibodies was prevented, suggesting protection against degradation in an exoskeleton-like manner. Our study could inspire future work to address global bioanalytical and diagnostic challenges.</p>
