N2 - BackgroundThe effect of framework topology on the guest‐induced flexibility of several crystalline zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIF‐7, ZIF‐9, ZIF‐11 and ZIF‐12) was investigated via analysis of experimental N2, CO2 and Ar isotherms at 77 K (N2 and Ar) and 273 K (CO2) for gas pressures up to 0.13 MPa.ResultsThe experimental isotherms were analysed in order to investigate structural flexibility of these materials using gases with kinetic diameters equal to or larger than the diameters of their static pore apertures. The results of gas sorption measurements indicate guest‐induced phase changes for ZIF‐7 and ZIF‐9 (SOD topologies). ZIF‐12 (RHO topology) also shows uptake for gases, despite its pore limiting diameter being smaller than the kinetic diameters of the adsorbed molecules.ConclusionsThis work highlights the ability of ZIFs with different framework topologies to change their structure and increase their pore aperture upon interaction with certain gases. These findings are key in the development of more selective ZIF‐based materials for important industrial applications including low‐energy gas separations, catalytic nanoreactors and sensor technology.
