Zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) are comprised of transition metal ions (Zn, Co) and a range of imidazolate linkers in a tetrahedral coordination similar to that in crystalline aluminosilicate zeolites. The high surface area, tunable nanoporosity that can be subject to functionalization and th...
