Nanostructured Zeolitic Imidazolate Frameworks Derived from Nanosized Zinc Oxide Precursors

A facile method for the large scale transformation of ZnO nanocrystals into the corresponding nanocrystals of a zeolitic imidazolate framework was demonstrated. The methodology based on this nanoscale-facilitated transformation can be adapted to synthesize zeolitic imidazolate framework films on ver...

Summary:A facile method for the large scale transformation of ZnO nanocrystals into the corresponding nanocrystals of a zeolitic imidazolate framework was demonstrated. The methodology based on this nanoscale-facilitated transformation can be adapted to synthesize zeolitic imidazolate framework films on versatile substrates through the transformation from ZnO nanoscopic films derived from chemical vapor deposition (CVD) or solution growth.
